The endless chatter of weather.

@Patrick L
powder?

The annual eight-month midatlantic overcast is now officially underway.

@Patrick L
A Colombian charter plan crashed?

That's ridiculous.


I'm pretty sure it was just Gold Bond.

You know, there is another decaying tropical system steaming up the west side of the Baja and supposedly headed for Arizona. What gives? What can we blame this horrible phenomenon on: global warming, elves, the previous dry winters on the southern Pacific coast and in the SW, a coming wet or dry winter, the cyclical nature of the tropics, government weather control programs?

Weasels!

Latest trends seem to be holding most of the moisture west of Phx. Not that it won't rain across the state, but the biggest totals might be in the Wickenburg/Bradshaws range again.

Well, I suppose after the nice 10 day dry out, it would be beneficial to get some widespread rain. Still.

@Jim_H
So now Rain is good? Next you tell us that more than 6 trees per acre is beneficial?
I'm confused....

Hey, I wrote beneficial, not, "good".

I didn't hang the laundry out last night because I figured it wouldn't dry in the rain.

So it's all my fault. I'm going to go wash my truck now. Maybe it'll salvage something from this whole debacle.

@chumley
Don't give up yet....
But for good measure, could you come and pick up my truck to wash also....

Weather.com shows 100% chance of precipitation for the Phoenix area from 1-4pm. So it probably won't rain at all.

@John9L
9L posts in the weather thread!? Couldn't you at least have waited until it got to 200 pages?

What day?

Had some sprinkles from the overcast sky off and on during my sunset tour at the South Rim earlier this evening. Off and on drizzle along 64 from Tusayan to Valle, consistent drizzle along 180 from Valle to Flagstaff.

Well, lots of rain around Tucson. Lots.

.76 inch at my place in southwest Tucson; much more elsewhere.

Over 3.3 inches on Mount Lemmon.
