The perfect weather? A massive thunderstorm, all of those billowing black and bluish grey clouds with mamtous underbellies, with the orange-red sunlighlight shining right underneath to create a mireade of otherworldly colors. Constant lightning flashes every second (like the ones I used to know) It has to be very windy at the beggining and followed up with a massive downpour... possibly hail... I wouldn't want to be inside though, much to my parents displeasure I enjoyed going out in the downpour and staring straight up into the sky (mouth open)... Rainwater tastes much better than Phoenix water... (yuck (scratches calcite formation off of teeth)) .... the lightning should also be at the beggining of the storm... otherwise it will scare the eabijeabis out of me when it goes off RIGHT OVER HEAD! :Blinding Flash followed instantly by KABOOM!... no time delay at all: (You can't feel you're hair stand on end when its held down by massive amounts of rain water.)
I would also like to see it role in... just like the old days when Phoenix wasn't huge... If the anvil-head with all of it's fluffy cumulus clouds was lined up with you and about one hour later it was just closer in radius (without deviating along theta) than you would be hit dead on with that storm... With everyone moving into the valley today though... (Curses land developers and kicks them in the leg)... The storms normally break in two and die shortly after... It doesn't seem to phase the weather man though, who jumps up and down at a drop of rain. SKY HARBOUR ACTUALLY DETECTED THE RARE RAIN PARTICLE TODAY... QUESTIONS OF THE NOBLE PRIZE ABOUND...Yeah... Please if you are considering moving to AZ... Please consider other wonderful places without an overinflated realty market... That way you don't further destroy my thunderstorms.
I mean last year, we had the perfect storm, it was bright purple on the radar (the color just above red and dark red). It was already in Phoenix and heading straight for us... Until it hit the west side... and split in half right around Glendale... little or no rain... I do believe that Hurrican Andrew could attempt to enter Phoenix and actually be split in half by our evil heat shield. *Sighs*
Anyways, maybe we'll finally get a cool monsoon this year... We haven't had much in terms of winter rain so... maybe!
