Odds are becoming increasingly favorable for another period of wet unsettled weather across the Desert Southwest late this week into next weekend as moisture moves in ahead of a Pacific weather system. This means there is potential for a wet Halloween weekend. #azwx #cawx

11:45 a.m. Radar: Virga and light showers have popped up over parts of the region late this morning. Much of this rainfall might not be reaching the ground so a quick sprinkle might be the most seen from this activity. #azwx

A small low pressure circulation over Yuma early this morning, is part of a broader low, and will swing through AZ today. This low will help drive showers and storms this afternoon in northern AZ and may even generate a few showers and a storm in the lower deserts. #azwx

Two supercell storms tracked through the Phoenix Metro area on the 20th and 21st. The 1st storm passed over the east valley. Radar estimated max hail sizes were 1"-1.5" (first image). The 2nd storm impacted the west valley with a larger hail swath up to 2"+ (second image). #azwx

One of the hardest hit areas by Wednesday's hail storm was the Metrocenter area along I-17. This radar snapshot is when the core of the storm was directly over the area. The spike feature you see extending out of the storm is an artifact called a Three-Body Scatter Spike (TBSS).

TBSS is a radar artifact that extends down radial from the storm core, away from the radar, and indicates the presence of large hail. The spike shows up blue in the correlation coefficient (CC) radar image on the right.
