Sunday Storm

As part of the big trough digging into the American West, many clouds passed over the Sacramento Valley on Sunday morning. A powerful thunderstorm blew up directly over downtown and pelted CSU with 1.93" of rain: an amazing amount considering how little ever falls here in typical Septembers. I was trapped over at Ron Cisneros School of Dance by the downpour. And as quickly as the cell came, it dissipated.

North and east of Phoenix, AZ, they had similar storms, fueled in part by Hurricane Javier moisture. Remnants from the hurricane passed into NM and made it wet there.
