Re-release of a chase from last year, now with music! It's an outflow boundary development in Anthem, AZ. And I ran into a few chaser friends along the way this day. Enjoy! 🤘

Here is a video timelapse compilation of Tropical Storm Rachel as it went through Phoenix, AZ from October 10th-12th, including the cool outflow boundary a lot of people saw.

Sandbags are a great alternative to block water out of your garage, if suddenly, the weather stripping on your garage door isn't performing the way it should anymore. 🤘

I'm happy that my driver side front door is fixed, but I'm super stoked about the new black military-style bed cover! The things bunji cord can do. Gotta love it! Next up . . . mud flaps! 🤘

Here is the new forecasted trajectory for Hurricane Rachel. Normally, hurricanes die as they get into higher latitudes due to cooler waters, but I do wonder if this one has the power to remain as a hurricane, and make its way inland as it will approach Arizona.

Afternoon high temperatures were several degrees above the daily normals under clear skies with gusty winds. Look for nearly identical conditions returning Monday.

It is rare for Arizona to get moisture flow from a tropical storm system. However, it is extremely rare for Arizona to have three tropical storm systems within 1,700 miles simultaneously! 🌀
