It had been a slow start to the monsoon season here in Northern Arizona and Southern Utah but storms are passing through the region every day now. This video shows a storm gathering but I didn’t detect any lightning. I did run across lightning yesterday near Zion so stay tuned Anon for those pics and videos.

Stormy Point Sublime
Point Sublime, on the North Rim of The Grand Canyon offers one great vista of the canyon and surrounding area. The storm cell images are those that ravaged Southern Utah on Monday causing death and destruction. As I experienced, these cells roll very fast over the landscape and you better be prepared to take cover. I had my vehicle close by and felt secure. With all the monsoonal moisture we have experienced this summer, the depths of The Grand Canyon have really greened up.
Monsoonal Moisture In Northern Arizona
I love the monsoon season in Northern Arizona. From July to early September, dramatic skies form above the parched desert landscape. The rains provide some relief from the scorching 100 degree(F) temperatures. Rainbows, large puffy clouds, violent storm cells and electricity filled up the Arizona Sky.
