Rain below running a little below average; rainbow above average
At 0.77 inches, and only 0.01 inches yesterday, Sutherland Heights is running a little behind our July rainfall average amount for the 13th of about an inch. But, we had an “above average”, really quite spectacular, long-lasting rainbow yesterday. Hope you caught it.
6:40 PM. Rain on mountains, sun breaking through. Get camera ready.6:43 PM.6:46 PM. Cam lens not wide enough to capture full glory of scene. Would never be as good as in real life, anyway.
6:47 PM. Lingered for about 15 min, too.
U of AZ mod run from 06Z (11 PM AST) calculates that today and tomorrow will be active late afternoon and evening thunderstorm days.
Hurricane Diary: Just formed Dolores just reaching hurricane stage today, winds of 65 mph or more. But, up, up, up, they will go!
