That is, if it matters. I just plan that every day in July and August has a chance for a dust or thunderstorm, with temperatures that could be as high as 115. Two nights ago, a storm soaked my yard. But a mile away - nothing.
Yup, we've seen storms hit Tempe, Mesa, Scottsdale, Chandler and parts of Phoenix, but like you say, a mile away, nothing... We've had less than 0.1" of rain all summer here in Surprise. That could be the answer, 30% chance of rain, they just don't say where.
