How much rain did Phoenix not get on Monday?



While the north and west parts of the Valley got in on the action, rain was kind of a flop for Phoenix on Monday.

PHOENIX — It’s been 158 days since Phoenix got measurable rainfall — keyword, measurable.

While it’s true that Monday’s weather pattern brought showers to the northwest parts of the Valley, most of Phoenix itself didn’t get in on the action. At least, not enough to matter.

Phoenix measures its rainfall from a monitoring station at Sky Harbor International Airport. Although that area did get some sprinkles, it wasn’t enough for the station to pick up any measurable rainfall.

RELATED: Last season, Flagstaff had already seen 27 inches of snowfall. This season, snowfall is at only 2.8 inches.

So, the streak of consecutive dry days “officially” lives on, but there is still a chance that the airport could receive something in the next two days before this system gets outta here. There’s a 20% chance for isolated showers in Phoenix Tuesday, and a 30% chance on Wednesday.

If that doesn’t play out though, Phoenix’s historic record of 160 days without rain is going to be broken.

Still, other parts of the Valley got measurable rainfall. 12News meteorologist Chris Dunn noted these spots at 10 p.m.:

  • Wickenburg:  0.39″
  • Wittman:  0.31″
  • New River:  0.24″
  • Anthem:  0.16″
  • Avondale:  0.04″

At least the High Country got some snow out of the deal by the end of day. Here are the 10 p.m. totals:

  • Bellemont:  3″
  • Flagstaff:  1.3″
  • Cottonwood:  1″
  • Chino Valley:  1″

It remains to be seen weather or not we’re going to set a new record for no rain this year.
