![]() ![]() June 26th - The fickle nature of the Monsoon continues as it has been a disappointment in North Phoenix with another hopper thunderstorm as storms to the Northeast fizzled and sent out gust front that past over North Phoenix with little fanfare only to go on to form new Thunderstorms in south Phoenix south of downtown in the Laveen area where 0.50 to 1.00 inches of rain fell at the base of South Mountain. Here at Pepperridge North Valley we have only measured a Trace o f rain on the 23rd and the dry streak without measurable rain currently stands at 87 DAYS the EIGHTH longest on record. Widespead Thunderstorm activity has yet to develop in the Phoenix Metro area. Outflows from this storm produced and formed small pulse storms futher west/Northwest one of these formed over the Sky Harbor Airport where 0.13 inches of rain fell and another one in Glendale where up 0.39 inches fell a small area south of State Farm Stadium. Overnight into the morning of June 25th, a pulse thunderstorm develop over the Sun Lakes/Chandler area producing up to 0.50 inches of rain in isolated areas as this storm slowy moved east/ Northeast in it's weakend state it produced lighter thundershowers in Gilbert and Mesa. The closest activity to Phoenix has remaind primarly in Pinal county clipping the far east valley. This is not a ideal setup for storms in central deserts and most the storm activity has remained in the Mountains and in far Southeastern Arizona. Monsoon pattern with mainly mid and high level moisture streaming into Arizona as we have recently experiencing unusual Monsoon setup as the Monsoon ridge has remained futher east over Texas and low pressure in the westerlies has persistant off the California coast this has led to a South to Southwestly flow to remain in place. That the season began on June 22nd!! This is one earliest starts by old traditional dewpoint method!! Although this is still considered a low grade June 24th - The 2022 Monsoon have offically began as of June 24th as we marked the third day in a row of a average Dewpoint at 55☏ or above this means The Monsoon has officially started at Phoenix Sky Harbor,on June Flagstaff residents on both sides of the Pipeline Fire burn scar have been dealing with weeks of sustained rains and flooding that have brought with them sediment and debris from the scorched mountainside.īut this flooding, while more extreme this year than most, can sometimes be a necessary hazard when dealing with such prolonged drought conditions, Johndrow said.Pepper Ridge Dewpoint averages over the last 6 days. With the increased rainfall, some areas, particularly those around wildfire burn scars, have experienced extreme flash flooding repeatedly this summer. "So how great this last four weeks of rain has felt, we're still half of normal just in 2022." "In the end, we'll probably all be right around the same place," Born said. As the season continues, storms will likely impact areas like the airport that haven't seen much rain yet, bringing the rainfall totals closer to normal. That means the airport has recorded just around half of the rain it normally does by this point in the year while other areas have seen a 200% increase. Because monsoon rains are so spotty, Born said, by this point in the season it's not particularly surprising there is such a wide range in rainfall totals across Northern Arizona so far.įor example, Flagstaff airport has gotten only 4 inches of rain while the east side of the city has gotten more than 10 inches. ![]()
