late entry from yesterday (Thur, 17 May) because the system would not accept my odd hour of reporting. No precipitation on the 17th.
For Friday the 18th of May, we had our first rain since I started reporting. We indicated 0.30". I was not home to observe the actual start and stop time of the rain. It was a consistent rain as I drove home from Reno at midnight and the last 15 miles of road top was consistently wet, all the way to my house. Currently sunny with a breeze out of the canyon (from north to south). |

When we were not in the drought, some locals shared that rain clouds used to get pushed into my part of Paradise Valley and thus, we normally had more precipitation than the rest of the valley. That is not holding true this season.
The worry here is that the valley and mountains are so dry if we get any electrical storms, it could burn the place up.

(7:17 a.m. time of observation) It is interesting to note that 24 hrs prior to yesterday morning there was no mention of rain in the short term forecast. By 8:45, there was a "trace" of rain from a single dark cloud overhead. By this time the forecast started to change. The cloud picture continued to change all day. Just before dark, we had a short but heavy (by Nevada standards) that produced the 0.11" of rain |

(7:07 a.m. time of observation) After a few days away attending a wedding, I am back to reporting. During the three day absence there was not rain to report. On the other hand, there is a fire to report. At 5:30 a.m. yesterday my friend witnessed a lightning strike near Hanson Creek that quickly turned into a wildland fire. At bed time last evening the east facing slope of the Santa Rosa Mountains were ablaze. The small single engine tanker had to leave when it got dark. A phone call to a firefighter on the scene indicated that this was going to be an air attack. The terrain did no lead itself to ground fire trucks. This is the 4th major fire in this valley since last July. Current conditions are mild with smoke filled skies. |
