The Best of the Tucson Monsoon

In 3 years of chasing and documenting the monsoon in southern Arizona, I've had the chance to film extraordinary sequences in and around Tucson. These are some of my best timelapse clips from Vail, Marana, Picture Rocks, A Mountain, and Marsh Station. Chasing storms here might not yield incredible images of supercells and tornadoes found on the plains, but Tucson skies offer a magnificently colored palette that bring chasers from all over the world to see firsthand.

Gorgeous. But made me cry.Born and lived their for 40 yrs. I miss it. Nothing like a storm there. Creosote smells good, even the dirt after one.when riding, I had to make sure I was on the right side of the riverbed each day because of flash floods.A thunderhead would start building behind the Rincons, then 3 pm it let loose. Each day through out monsoon season.

My buddy's a lawyer in Tucson and he's made a small fortune repping homeowners whose "brand new roofs and windows" failed the monsoon test.

Even the lightning has a purpose. I’ve heard/read that it puts nitrogen into rain so that it is a kind of natural fertilizer. Beautiful video and music!

Damn, girl. Just damn. Thanks for sharing. The thing I remember most about Tucson from my visits is the smell of the desert. Very unique, like nothing else I've encountered. Watching this, I can almost smell the scrub brush, the hot sand, the cactus flowers. Again, thank you. (Lacewing Photography)

Nice, Lori. The images are both yin and yang, and the time lapse shows their power. I remember rain so thick one couldn't see the back fence. I used to love how the temperature would drop twenty-five degrees after a storm, the streets would turn into rivers, and then those lovely fragrances of sage and creosote would fill the air as the water drained into the sand.
