Well it appears that summer may be coming to an end. Saturday marked 126 days of 100+ degree temperatures, but now the remnants of Hurricane Rosa are dropping rain and temperatures over the next couple of days.

The Phoenix area is supposed to get 3-4 inches of rain and that will likely result in flooding in many of the runoff areas since the ground is so hard the water just runs downhill as fast as it falls from the sky.

Probably a welcome event to some.

Yes, rain in the desert is always welcome. Today's drive in to work was like living on the Gulf Coast again.

Its the end of summer here an hour north of Toronto, Ontario Canada. Very cool this past weekend with some rain. This week is much of the same. We have had frost and leaves are coming down off the trees.
Will be oiling up the cars and putting them to sleep after this Thanksgiving long weekend.
Your summer is just starting up eh Ken ,
Enjoy your cooler temps and evening cruises!

Yep, the high temp the rest of the week will be only mid-80s. That's a 20 degree drop from last week.

News said something of a dam breach, hope no one is near that.

The only thing I heard was that water was being released from the dam that created Tempe Town Lake, but that's a controlled release into the river so no harm there.

I just read about this on the local news. I'm amazed that you heard about it before I did.

An earthen dam in Arizona’s southern desert could fail and flood a small village because the lake behind it is swollen with runoff from the remnants of Tropical Storm Rosa, officials said Wednesday.
Ali Chuk, a Native American community with 162 people on the Tohono O’odham Nation reservation, was being evacuated Tuesday night, the tribe’s public safety department said in a statement.
No further details were available Wednesday on the evacuations.
Water levels were within a foot (0.3 meters) of topping Menagers Dam, which could give way and flood Ali Chuk, the National Weather Service said.
The area near the Mexico border got between 3 and 5 inches of rain on Tuesday. Flooding from runoff made roads impassable.
