Interesting Weather Out West
According to Greg Carbin, the WCM at the Storm Prediction Center, this is the first tornado watch in the history of the state of Utah. That’s amazing!
I am in Tucson, Arizona, at the National Weather Association meeting. Yesterday, we had a couple of rounds of severe thunderstorms. Then, as if on cue, when we headed out to dinner, a severe thunderstorm struck, complete with one inch hail, blinding rains and winds blowing horizontally. Rainfall amounts were only about 0.25-0.35 inches, but this area doesn’t handle rain well and streets became raging rivers. A wind gust to 84 mph was measured on top of a building at the University of Arizona.
This morning, a tornado struck an RV park near Flagstaff, in northern Arizona. There were seven injuries.
