It's nothing close to what you all get where you are by a looooong shot, we are in the desert. Our average total annual rainfall is 11 inches with about 11 inches average snowfall. Much of our water comes from the Colorado rocky mountains snow pack melt and rain run off.So I can get a better handle on monsoon season, how much total rain can you expect from it?I was out a while ago in the garage, had a crack of lightning the rolled from west to east, that was really cool. Not long after that the rain hit us, we had some decent rain for about 15 - 20 minutes and continued to sprinkle for a while afterwards.I do believe the monsoon is upon us. Lots of pregnant looking clouds out there, we have cooled down to a really REALLY pleasant 74 though today's rain looks like it will skirt around us to the west.
But over in Arizona:

We have a little over a half inch in our rain guage. That is awesome! Hoping for a little more but watching the radar the storms are weakening and will probably start breaking up and dissipating now that the sun is down.
