This is a typical morning sky during the monsoon with debris clouds from the previous evenings thunderstorms.
Old definition of an Arizona 'monsoon' - three consequetive days with a dew point of 55F or higher. This was changed last year to 'Monsoon Season', beginning on 15 June and ending on 15 September, regardless of dew point temperature.
Picture was taken in July 1985 and later scanned.
