According to the Arizona Weatherman, the Arizona Monsoon Season officially started on 15 Jun 2024. How are you enjoying the plethora of thunderstorms and rain showers? What and where are they, you say? And you would be correct; the convective activity has been mostly absent so far. But to be fair, the monsoon start date does not mean the pattern has actually been set up, but it will be coming soon. That is what the models indicate: an on-time typical climatological start date for the season to begin. The monsoon pattern is looking to start setting up around 21 Jun 2024 this year for Arizona.

This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
