Public Information Statement As of 8:10 PM MST on July 29, 2010

... The monsoon shows up for some...

Thursday afternoon was one of the more active days so far this
monsoon season in Mohave County Arizona. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms developed largely along a boundary across Mohave
County that separated juicier air to the east over Arizona and drier
air to the west of the Colorado River. Most of the shower and
thunderstorm activity was slow moving and given the high amounts of
moisture available in the atmosphere over Mohave County was able to
unleash locally heavy amounts of rain in under an hour. There were
several small areas scattered across Mohave County where radar
estimated at least 2 inches of rain falling. However as is the case
with scattered showers and thunderstorms many areas so no rain at
all fall and in most instances the rain that fell occurred over the
higher elevations and left most valleys dry.

Below are a list of rainfall totals from this afternoon and evening
across Mohave County through 8 PM MST on Thursday July 29th.

Wikieup - alert 1.22 inches
Wikieup - mesonet 0.83 inch
Mt Logan - RAWS 0.57 inch
Hayden Peak - alert 0.47 inch
Music Mountain - RAWS 0.47 inch
Moss basin - RAWS 0.45 inch
Yellow John Mountain - RAWS 0.31 inch
hualapai mountain - alert 0.24 inch
Grey Mountain - alert 0.20 inch
Nixon flats - RAWS 0.18 inch
Yucca/MacKenzie wash - alert 0.16 inch
Vock Canyon - alert 0.12 inch
Colorado City - alert 0.08 inch
lookout wash near Kingman - mesonet 0.05 inch
Craigs Knoll - alert 0.04 inch

At the Kingman Airport no rain fell at all today leaving the monthly
total at a trace. July 1982 was the only other July to see a trace
of rain fall at Kingman. However there have been five julys were no
rain has fallen at all at Kingman - 1902... 1926... 1928... 1934 and
most recently 1993. Records at Kingman date back to 1901.
