Check out the extended from the GEFS Ensemble!

It's far out, but there's not really any indication that the wet pattern will go anywhere anytime soon!!

The Climate Prediction Center is catching on it too

It took 5 years but on September 12th, the Grand Canyon finally gave me that magical night I was looking for!

On our way back from Vegas, we got stuck in Phoenix (missed our connecting flight). So we stayed over night. Didn't do much while we were there, but I did experience my first Arizona Haboob. 🏜️☁️☁️☁️🌩️✨#azwx

Some Storms just like to be artistic. This was one of them back a few weeks ago near Benson, AZ.

It's been something like 34 years since I had a chance to watch lightning land deep inside the Grand Canyon. 2022 monsoon finally reset the clock. Pics can't capture the channel's intensity or wow factor of a bright orange plasma plume blazing then fading where it struck.

ECMWF has been pretty consistent in showing a major monsoon surge next week.

Dewpoints over 70 degrees extending as far as Las Vegas! If it does verify, the air in the desert will feel like the tropics.
Likely some serious Monsoon storms and heavy downpours as well.

Finally!! A fantastic monsoonal setup is looking more and more likely next week. Details concerning the monsoon are just about impossible to detail a day out, yet alone a week out, but the overall pattern is looking conducive to bring the Desert Southwest some goodies!#utwx

On Aug 29th, a massive downburst from a passing storm over Oro Valley and the Tortolita Mountains dropped several bolts together with a boatload of water.

A decent surge of moisture will move into the Four Corners region today through early next week. Some significant rainfall amounts in the higher elevations of AZ. Flash flood threat will increase. The rain is helping to improve the drought. (1/2).

Incredible looking cloud structure from an outflow boundary near Gila Bend, AZ. All that’s missing is lighting… 👎🏼#stormhour

Some light rain fell in Tucson during the past hour - just enough to wet the pavement. Though it may seem like the early arrival of it is not. Twin low-pressure centers off northern California and over northern Mexico are steering Pacific moisture our way.
