Hello,
Now that Monsoon 2010 is officially over I like comment that while some areas of the state had way above normal rainfall like Flagstaff and much of the rim country and southeastern Arizona, in Phoenix is was another disappointing
year with spotty rain that left parts of the valley wet (Mesa) and other areas high and dry (North Phoenix). Even Sky Harbor had more rain. At my location there was no impressive storms at all , it seem the westeriles kept pushing everything east of here, thanks "El Nino" Only 1.63 inches for the season
Here are the final stats for Pepperridge:
http://www.pepperridgenorthvalley.com/monsonrn.html9/30 - Monsoon 2010 closes with little fanfare it was the 3rd driest on record thanks to a dry
September which produced only 0.21 inches with 0.20 inches falling on Sept 22nd from the remanents of
Tropical Storm Georgette. Otherwise the Monsoon was almost non existant in September!
Now we have "El Nino's " evil twin sister "La Nina" to look forward to which usually means a warmer and drier than normal winter so the Dorught is probally going to return in full force
Hope they are wrong
Jeanette
