11:45 a.m. Radar: Virga and light showers have popped up over parts of the region late this morning. Much of this rainfall might not be reaching the ground so a quick sprinkle might be the most seen from this activity. #azwx

A small low pressure circulation over Yuma early this morning, is part of a broader low, and will swing through AZ today. This low will help drive showers and storms this afternoon in northern AZ and may even generate a few showers and a storm in the lower deserts. #azwx

One of the hardest hit areas by Wednesday's hail storm was the Metrocenter area along I-17. This radar snapshot is when the core of the storm was directly over the area. The spike feature you see extending out of the storm is an artifact called a Three-Body Scatter Spike (TBSS).

TBSS is a radar artifact that extends down radial from the storm core, away from the radar, and indicates the presence of large hail. The spike shows up blue in the correlation coefficient (CC) radar image on the right.
