Monsoon Rain Tonight?

We're now in monsoon season in Jamestown, New Mexico.

Thus far, there's been no measurable precipitation here. I felt and saw some raindrops this afternoon on the deck, but they evaporated within minutes.

We may get some thundershowers this evening before midnight. The cloud cover is thick toward the south and west. I have been receiving some lightning alerts today, which means lightning activity has been detected within 10 miles of Jamestown.

Hopefully, we'll get a few good downpours. We sure can use the water as it's bone-dry here.
