While hurricane season has been unusually quiet over here on the Gulf Coast of Florida (thank goodness). Tucson (where I grew up) is in the path of a tropical storm.

After an extremely dry monsoon season Southern Arizona is set to receive heavy rainfall when Priscilla swoops in.

Initial models said over 10”, though many have downgraded the amount to around 4” of rain. It is still a substantial amount of precipitation for the Sonoran Desert, especially all at one time.

Flooding is definitely a concern and, like here, municipalities are opening sand bag locations to help low-lying households.

I still have family and friends out there so I’m hoping that the storm delivers a reasonable amount of much needed moisture…
