October rain and hail storms

Carrying their shelter with them, a group of students having a bake sale for the University of Arizona mock trials are forced to make a break for it as the skies opened up around the campus forcing students to make a run for it. Needless to say, the baked goods were ruined. Heavy rain and hail was reported throughout the area. The photo was taken on Tuesday, October 6, 2015, in Tucson, Ariz. A.E. Araiza/ Arizona Daily Star

Showers and thunderstorms linger around Tucson this morning and afternoon, with some of the stronger storms capable of generating hail, gusty winds and heavy rain with localized flooding.

Today's the last day this week that temperatures will hover in the 70s, as highs will return to the mid-80s tomorrow and back to low-90s by the weekend.
