This lovely Thursday morning in Roosevelt, AZ was a nice cool time for my morning walk. However, along the way I couldn't help but notice how significantly dry the soil has become. There's dried out vegetation everywhere and wildfires are a real threat. All it will take is for someone to be careless or unthinking. Campfires are banned in the National Forests but already there have been many human caused wildfires and it's just May. A slight chance of rain is in the forecast for Sunday. Be safe everyone. |

The 110's and beyond will begin this week and the chance of rain that was forecast for the end of the week has been taken off the table. Happy Memorial Day to all and let's remember those who sacrificed so much for our freedom. |

Although our area was inundated with thunder clouds yesterday afternoon, we did not receive much needed rain. We are bone dry. Lightning sparked a wild fire approximately five miles from here due to the abundant growth from late winter rains. It's definitely a tinder box.

It's a breezy morning in Roosevelt, AZ. There are soft, puffy clouds in the blue skies here. The wildfire about five miles from here seems to be under control now and although some parts of Arizona received rain late yesterday, we only had dark, ominous skies. I could smell rain outside but it must have evaporated before getting to the ground. Our power went out for four hours. I'm looking forward to some relief from the monsoon for our bone dry conditions. It can't come soon enough. |

The consequence of this is that the water of our Roosevelt Lake which is normally a brilliant blue, has the pallor of steel gray as the smoke continues its eastward trek. The winds are calm this morning in Roosevelt, AZ. The drying trend continues and all vegetation is becoming drier and drier. No rain is in the immediate forecast for Roosevelt. |

There must have been a shift in the winds overnight. This morning, the mountains to the north and west are not visible due to heavy smoke and the view to the south and east are somewhat obscured by smoke filtering throughout the area. The smell of smoke from the Bush Fire is permeating the area of Roosevelt. This is the first day we have experienced this change. Light winds are rustling the trees and vegetation in this early morning hour but we continue to dry out. Temps are expected to escalate this coming week but still there is no rain forecasted for Roosevelt, AZ. |

When I went outside this morning to fill up the water dishes for the birds (there wasn't a drop of water left in them) the humidity hit me like a ton of bricks. What a difference from yesterday! I am going to try to be optimistic even though I don't enjoy high humidity. If the dew point and humidity levels can escalate and stay there, Arizona will stand a chance of having some much needed rain. Projected temperatures for today through Monday are record-breaking. It may go to 120 degrees tomorrow. That's nothing to look forward to. Everyone in this area needs to try to stay safe. Rain is desperately needed in Roosevelt, AZ. |

Yesterday saw the first sign of monsoon moisture as the clouds built and built to the east of here...and then they continued their eastward trek. We had some high breezes but no rain. There was a visual sign that rain could be falling to the east and south of us. The thirsty birds and animals are draining my water dishes two to three times a day.

On this bright Saturday morning in July, the clouds that obscured the sun around 6:00 a.m. have disappeared. Yesterday in Roosevelt, a promising monsoon cloud formed to the East, bringing the possibility of some moisture. South and east of here, sprinkles teased my windshield with enough drops to necessitate the windshield wipers movement. But here in Roosevelt, the only thing we could score were two thunder booms. Within a half-hour, the promising monsoon cloud fell apart and no rain fell. |

Due to a lack of precipitation and low humidity, the water in my water dishes and my fountain are rapidly evaporating. The non-drought tolerant plants in my yard are extremely stressed and not looking healthy. Unknown animals (probably rodents) managed to completely eat my two newest plants, a Gooding Verbena and a rose start which was standing about 4 inches tall. They left no trace, not even a leaf. Both were completely pulled out of the ground and taken away or eaten, even though they were fenced. The animals are desperate for anything green or wet. Monsoon, where are you? |

A Gila Monster decided to make a brief visit a couple of days ago, apparently looking for some water. The trees and other plants are suffering due to lack of water.

It's already getting extra-warm on this Sunday morning in Roosevelt, AZ. Brisk winds are fluttering the branches on trees and shrubs but no rain has come to this high desert area. Promising clouds developed to the south yesterday but nothing happened here. My rain gauge sits empty. We are experiencing a "nonsoon" monsoon season. |

Well, I wish I had better news to report. However, the drought deepens in Roosevelt, AZ. The winds are still this morning but were very brisk all day yesterday. As the temperatures escalate this week, reportedly our humidity level is supposed to increase, allowing for the possibility of some rain in the state Typically, rain doesn't occur in Roosevelt unless the air is saturated. The humidity was reported as only 8% yesterday by the Phoenix weather man. Now, that's dry! |

It's Wednesday morning in Roosevelt, AZ and after a partly cloudy sky at 5:45 a.m., the skies are mostly cloudless at this time. There's an extremely slight chance of some rain in the state today, but it's not a given. None is forecast for the Roosevelt area. It would be a real surprise if it happened. My rain gauge is thirsty and so are the birds and animals coming to visit. We refill the water dish one to two times a day to help quench their thirst. |

High thin clouds permeate the skies this morning in Roosevelt, AZ - and some haze, perhaps from the new fire in California. The heat is expected to reach 114 degrees in the Valley today and for the next several days. Spotty showers may occur in isolated spots in Arizona. We continue to face unrelenting dryness. My rain gauge is bone dry. |

In this 2020 monsoon season, the clouds build and look promising. But then they go away each afternoon, settling further east or to the south. Our temperatures are reaching record highs and the length of time for 110+ has broken all records since recording began. Now the excessive heat warning, with no rain predicted, has been extended for another week. My rain gauge is very empty. |

On this Saturday morning in Roosevelt, AZ, we have a cloudless blue sky. According to the weather forecaster, the humidity has risen from 8% to 63%, making the 90+ degrees outside feel very muggy. But still, even with high humidity and record-breaking temperatures, no rain is on the horizon. A person from NOAA was consulted this morning and said there's a possibility that some tropical moisture can finally generate some rain in Arizona by next weekend. But there's no "for sure." My rain gauge remains empty. |

Well, well, well. A surprise thunderstorm came blustering through Roosevelt, AZ yesterday around 5 pm. Winds were gusting up to 50 mph, bending the tree branches in the neighborhood. Lightning and thunder accompanied the wind and heavy clouds and then the brief, heavy rain came down, dropping the stifling temperature to 86 degrees. What a scary and pleasant relief it was! There's a wildfire in the mountains to the south of Roosevelt probably caused by lightning the day before and I was hopeful that the rain would douse the flames. However, there was still a smoke plume when the clouds lifted yesterday and also this morning. |

We are surrounded on two sides by lightning caused wildfires this morning in Roosevelt, AZ. The main road into Globe is closed (Hwy. 188) due to one of the fires. We are in such need of a soaking rain. However, all we received yesterday was a sprinkle - there was nothing measurable. The smoke is pervasive and it's not pleasant to be outside. There is a slight chance of rain today with continued elevated temperatures. |

During the night I heard one thunder clap far off in the distance. But that was it! The Salt Fire is raging about five miles from Roosevelt, causing the Emergency Systems to notify residents in this area to prepare for possible evacuation. This is the second time in two years. I've lived here for 15 and last year was my first time to evacuate from anywhere. We remain dry here but the potential for monsoon storms this afternoon are a possibility. If I am required to evacuate, there will be no report from this location for several days. |

On this Friday morning in Roosevelt, AZ smoke from the several close by fires continues to muddy our normally blue skies. Heavy rain fell in the Phoenix and Eastern Valley area last night but we received nothing here but wind. The smoke was so dense from the Salt Fire that the inside of my house was filled with the smell, making it difficult to breathe. We are in desperate need of a drenching rain but it does not look promising for this area. We continue to be bone dry. Our area is in a SET mode for possible evacuation. |

No rain was predicted for this area yesterday. But the humidity level was extremely high. At approximately 4:30 in the afternoon I noticed that south of Roosevelt, AZ, a very dark wall of clouds was obliterating the mountains where the fires are raging. The winds picked up and it kept moving closer to this area with an abundance of lightning and thunder (the lightning wasn't appreciated since it caused the existing wildfires). The wind gusts were very brisk and then we received some refreshing rain that dropped the temperature into the low 80's from the 100's. The storm marched to the north, putting on quite a lightning show for quite some time then our power went out for about six hours. It was a very interesting day and evening. |

Conditions on Sunday evening were ripe for a good soaking rain. Clouds built late in the afternoon, turning the skies to the south very dark. The weather map indicated that rain was in the area but nothing happened in Quail Run. Not one drop of moisture fell. Today excessive temperatures are once again in the forecast and a slight possibility of rain with high humidity. |

A new wildfire erupted overnight in the Roosevelt area - the Meddler Fire is in the Cherry Creek area across Roosevelt Lake. The nighttime and morning hours are filled with choking smoke and bright red sunrises. We are in desperate need of a soaking rain. However, after witnessing the devastation from the Salt Fire, I know that heavy rain will bring terrible flooding. Saguaros and other cacti were obliterated from the intense heat of the fire and it looks like a moon scape. It is very sad to see the desert in such tragic condition. In the 15 years I've lived here, I've never witnessed such a strike on the landscape. Fortunately, no fire personnel or others were injured and no structures were lost. |

Finally this morning in Roosevelt, AZ I can see some sky without the heavy cloak of smoke we've been experiencing for days. However, the fires are not out and the fight continues. Although there were storms in the mountains east of here yesterday, we received no moisture, whatsoever. I took several photos yesterday of the barren landscape caused by the Salt Fire. Our once thriving desert landscape is not scarred by the flames and heat of the fire. The saguaros (which are an endangered species) that have been burned, won't be able to recover because their skin is gone. Cholla cactus look like something from a horror movie. The land resembles a moonscape. It's very sad. Any heavy rain that might fall now could cause massive flooding across the burn scar. It is a sad commentary to write. |

I was not at this location but was in the lower desert where a tremendous amount of rain came through sending rushing water down the street.
When I returned to Roosevelt late this morning, the predicted severe thunderstorm that was projected for our area gave very little to the rain gauge. But anything is better than what we've experienced for a majority of the summer. The latest burn scar looked different today after the rain. I was expecting to see signs of flash flooding but did not. Another couple of wilddfires are burning close by but the intense smoke that we have experienced for several weeks has subsided in this area. It is a treat to see blue skies over Roosevelt. I am grateful. Heavy rain is forecast for later today in this area. |

It won't be quite that hot in Roosevelt but it will be record breaking. No water is in my rain gauge and the thirsty birds and animals continue to empty my water dishes and birdbath to get some relief. |

On this Sunday morning in Roosevelt, AZ, the gusty winds have died down as we continue to experience higher than normal temperatures and a prolonged dry period. A brief shower was shown on radar last night, but there's no evidence of any moisture in the rain gauge. So apparently it passed us by. |

A few clouds dot the skies this Labor Day morning in Roosevelt, AZ. The Heat Advisory was extended through today. However, some changes are expected beginning tomorrow with high winds and a lowering of our temperatures into the 90's. The front, blowing down from Canada may bring some moisture to the High Country of Arizona but nothing is anticipated for Roosevelt. |

This Tuesday morning after Labor Day, there's a light, dry wind blowing in Roosevelt, AZ. This is a forerunner of the cold front coming from Canada which is expected to skirt Arizona with much higher winds later today, into tomorrow. This will increase chances of wildfires in Arizona.
Because of the California fires, the sun was a blazing ball of red this morning, making for a nice photo op. There's only a slight possibility of rain for this area in the forecast but temperatures are expected to dip into the 90's for a couple of days which will be a relief after our brutal summer temperatures. |

The winds blew through and heavy clouds formed yesterday, but no moisture fell in Roosevelt, AZ at this location. The benefit of all that bluster is that I can open my front door this morning to 65 degrees - a tremendous drop from the normal high 80's or low 90's. We'll enjoy these milder temperatures for a couple of days but everything has dried out again and the temperatures will rise. No rain is in the forecast for anytime in the future and the rain gauge remains empty. |

It's a bright, blue-sky day in Roosevelt, AZ. The best part is that it was 64 degrees when I got up around 6:00 a.m. There are brisk, cool winds this morning, a decided difference from the intensive heat we have experienced for months in the Southwest. The smoke from the coastal fires is not muddying up our skies this morning. Unfortunately, there is no moisture forecast for this area in the coming days. |

This Friday morning in Roosevelt, AZ, the sun was a red ball showing through the dense cover of smoke from the fires on the West Coast. So far, the sun hasn't been able to penetrate the atmosphere and so it appears to be very overcast. Our drought continues to deepen each day. No rain is forecast for anytime in the future and the monsoon season is nearly considered to be "dead" for this year. The monsoon officially ends on September 30 but the weather forecasters have said that it's done for 2020. |

On this Saturday morning in Roosevelt, AZ, once again the rising sun was a red ball due to the heavy smoke cover from the West Coast fires. By 8:00 a.m., the smoke was beginning to lift and the sun was a more normal golden color. The winds are still this morning and temperatures are lovely for my morning walk. No moisture is gracing this area and the rain gauge remains empty. |

It's another smoky, gray looking Sunday morning in Roosevelt, AZ. The sun was once again a very red ball, trying to penetrate the atmosphere through the smoky skies. The dryness can be felt on my skin, when I walk on the ground and by the number of birds and animals who visit my water sources. There was a set of triplet coyotes two days ago, images of their mother with a large white stripe of fur across their backs. They drank and drank, trying to quench their thirst, all the while keeping a wary set of eyes checking for any predators. As long as I can provide water for birds and animals, I will do so. But my rain gauge is thirsty too. |

It's a fairly breezy Tuesday morning in Roosevelt, AZ. The forecasters have notified us that the next couple of days is going to bring windy, drier conditions, upping the fire danger for our state. It was also reported that we're heading into a La Nina pattern which means even less chance of rain for this parched desert area. Our skies are clear and the sun is intense at this time of the year. The rain gauge is empty. |
