Great and simple analysis. I'm guessing the moisture trends are messier but summers certainly seem to have dried since we moved here in 2010.

COCORAHS agrees with most of the Denver Metro receiving a trace or less over the last 3 days. We got a trace. Incredible how the forecasts have busted low so much, and so consistently, the last several weeks within the 470 circle.

We've been able to open windows and turn a big fan on most nights, but last night the temp went down to 68 at 11 PM but rose after that, 73 at 6 AM. Stuffy. One of many reasons I don't live in AZ.

Glad I was on the East Coast. We finished July with 0.30" rain total at my house.

Interesting. There must be a subtle terrain feature right between I-225 and E-470 and south that creates a narrow zone of convergence. We got skunked again, 0.02" with radar similar to Tuesday. COCORAHS illustrates: (24 hrs ending 7 AM today)

Yes, we finally got 0.17" which feels like a downpour. Monthly total 0.23".

OK, so here's what I'm talking about: current radar, blue dot is my house.

May 20-June 25 were remarkably wet, so on average we are unremarkable in the SE half of the Metro- it's more that "dry begets dry" all over again once it gets started.

Yeah between yesterday and today we wound up with 0.05". I feel like I'm at a Rockies game. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory EVERY SINGLE @%#$^&* TIME.

Super dry at our house this month, with only 0.02" rain- all the storms have gone north and south. Hoping for monsoon moisture to finally hit us a bit over the next week!

0.72" rain yesterday, we had tiny hail but the plants did OK. Really feels monsoony out there, DPs in the mid to upper 50s. Nice!

I'll take it over the sauna that we currently have. 98/42 at 5 PM MT IMBY. 98/20 at Buckley AFB nearby...6% RH will dry you out in a hurry.

We seem to have threaded the needle with all 3 rounds so far, with only 0.03" at the house, but we'll see what the rest of the afternoon brings. Car is inside and tomatoes are under the porch, so that pretty much guarantees quiet weather.

Looks like south and northwest were the winners this time. We had 0.60". From COCORAHS

We really caught up yesterday with 2.64" of rain in 24 hours. Closing in on 4 inches for the month, who knew? Then again, May is often the surprise flood month- 2 years ago we had close to 6 inches in a day and a half, that washed out the road over Cherry Creek in the state park for close to a year. Same road had a foot of flowing water over it in the same place this morning.
