We enjoyed some warm sunset colors this evening here in Tempe, Arizona. I did what I could from the parking lot at work with my phone lol. At least the palm trees made for nice silhouettes. #sunset #arizona

That’s a great article. There was one written a few years back but I can’t remember who did it.

Unfortunately I spent the the day watching the radar from work in Tempe, Arizona. Thankfully I caught a few shots as severe warned storms moved through the area. #azwx #arizona #monsoon2025

Didn’t get the rain this morning as it stayed West of Chandler, but I managed to capture some sunrise color over the Eastern sky. Not a bad way to start the fall season here in Arizona. #AutumnEquinox #sunrise #arizona #iphonephotography

β€œCLOUD APPRECIATION DAY”

The shelf cloud is definitely one of my favorite clods. Here’s a panorama of a beautiful shelf cloud, taken back on August 21, 2022 (Birthday) up in Mayer, Arizona. #iphonephotography #azwx #panorama

β€ͺThat was an ugly game for us on offense. Thankfully our defense was strong and we were able to get the run going late. If this had been a good team, we would’ve likely taken an L. We need to get better on offense and get consistent if we want to be anyone else! Let’s Go! #DB4L ‬

Isolated shower/storm potential for the Valley later this evening & tonight. Best chances across the higher terrain. On Thursday, a few factors, including a moisture surge from Hurricane #Lorena could really increase storm & heavy rainfall chances for the Valley. #azwx #Phoenix

A few storms are rolling through the Valley and put on a little show with the mammatus clouds. Here’s an ultra wide angle shot from home here in Chandler, Arizona. #azwx #iphonephotography

Happy first day of Fall. A weakening/Northward moving high pressure will help usher moisture into our area from a developing tropical system in the Eastern Pacific. Temps will gradually cool through the week with better rain chances returning to the Valley by late week. #azwx #MeteorologicalAutumn

Spud is amazing! Her energy is like no other! She’s also a famous spud, adored by manny, including us.

Here’s one more shot of the massive wall of dust (Haboob) that plowed through Central Arizona, leaving a path of destruction in its wake!

We weren’t here when the other huge Haboob moved through back in July of 2011. So for now, this is the biggest one I’ve seen since living here. #haboob #azwx

Yeah many of my fellow storm chaser friends were on the parking deck at Sky Harbor Airport filming and photographing as this massive wall of dust rolled through.

Thank you so much Shirley. I love the summer monsoon season here, especially when it gets active!

Oh that’s awesome! We’re at Dobson/Pecos and yeah, it was quite gnarly out there! Happy we got the much needed rainfall.

Here’s a phone panorama of the dust storm "Haboob" as it approached my location off Queen Creek Rd in Chandler, Arizona. #azwx #haboob #iphonephotography

Looking like nighttime as the dust from a passing #haboob passes over Queen Creek Rd in Chandler, Arizona! #azwx #chandler @nws.noaa.gov

I haven’t gotten around to posting my recent lightning photos, so here’s a unique one from 2019. This was taken down in Casa Grande, Arizona. #azwx #lightningphotography

There are a ton (millions) who take photos of the skies, including sunrises and sunsets. You’re not helping lol

My goodness, #Erin is now a Cat 5 Hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph and a minimum central pressure of 917 mb. Erin literally went from a Tropical Storm to a Cat 5 Hurricane in just about 24 hours. That’s some crazy intensification! #hurricane

Our weather here in Phoenix will become active come late Saturday through early Monday as low pressure parks itself over our region. This help help to usher in moisture from TS #Alvin which is currently located South of Baja California. #azwx #Phoenix

We’re almost there! We had a reading of 99Β° at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport just after 2 PM. We need to warm up just one more degree to tie the all-time high for March and to break the record for the earliest 100Β° high by one day! Stay cool out there! #AZwx #Phoenix
