Worst monsoon season in the making!

#1 Postby azsnowman » Wed Jul 18, 2007 8:39 pm

Monsoon '07 is fixing to down in the books as one of the top 5 worst monsoon seasons I've seen. Thus far I've only received .22" and by this time I "should" have had close to 2 - 3.5" and the outlook is terrible! Enter year 13, 13 years of drought! :cry:

I was in north Arizona last summer about this time. We drove down out of Monument Valley and were headed towards Page when we ran into several thunderstorms. Saw a couple of beautiful rainbows so we stopped and took some pictures. Flying back home from Vegas we flew right over Sedona, what a beautiful view from 30,000 feet...MGC

The 500mb pattern progged is MUCH different than it was before, very similar to last year's 500mb pattern with a 594dm ridge over the Northern Plains.

I'm not holding my breath, like I said, everyone and their brother for the past 2 weeks have said the same thing over and over. Take for instance today, another big thunderhead built to the east and within 20 minutes it was gone, evaporated into thin air! I'm holding out for this winter :froze: the monsoon is done before it could start!
