Monsoons in May? WTF

maddglasser · May 19, 2009

I was always under the premiss that the monsoon usually started in July or August. I am sure this will not continue much longer, but it is nice to see! If this is an effect of global warming, then keep driving those SUV's and keep on raising cattle. This is a good thing!

Looks like another good day around Salome. The Kofa's have gettin a little as well. We did not get much Yesterday, but the air is juicy once again today. I am loving this!

Lots of green on the radar, but most has been virga. Some good cells though scattered around that appear as red/orange spots. Heard Mormon Lake had a nice shower. But only a few drops yesterday at the house.

Radar has green above the cabin right now. Hope it builds and dumps all over.

Doug
That would be great! I see from the Coconino Forest Website that fire danger is already High, so any moisture would be great!!

I was in williams area this past week and it rained pretty good on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully it will continue until mid august.

Boy that ain't no doubt. My buddy was in showlow over the weekend, he said there were a few flakes mixed in with the sleet and rain. WOW!

I was up at Happy Jack and it rained almost every day over the weekend and a couple of days it came down hard. Travis it looks like you're going to get your wish since they are predicting a wetter monsoon season for this year and above average rainfall in the higher elevations! Now I know you've lived here a while and most weather guys that can't predict weather live here because it's usually sunny and how can you miss on a forecast like that! So time will tell.

boskee;
My wife has a cabin near happy jack, and we were there
last weekend.
We went out on sunday morning to look around. We saw too many big rigs in places that with all the rain, they were going to be a booger to get out.
I did see muddy smiling kids, moms with a, I'm gona kill you when we get home look, and Dads drinking coffee, and telling lies. Gee ain't it great to enjoy the great outdoors.

Hope we get lots of rain, nice and slooow.

It's good for the plants and the animals. The 2 and 4 legged kind.
ENJOY!
