The annual monssonal flow into the Southwestern U.S. has been going strong for several weeks now. It's surprising how little the general meteorological situation has changed in the last several weeks. There's some moisture feeding into the Southwest from a tropical depression that never quite made it to tropical storm status, and there's also a tropical wave that's been passing through northern Mexico setting off showers there, and in AZ as well. More tropical moisture might feed into the area in a week. Right now, AZ is awash in moisture!
I was getting really depressed there about the Ahwatukee point forecast - rain everywhere, all around Phoenix, except that specific point called Ahwatukee. I guess that's why the region is a desert. Glad to see things are looking up there!
Current forecasts show drying over the next few days (I hope that's wrong).
