The first monsoonal rains of the season rolled into Tucson Thursday afternoon.

Not only is Thursday the Summer Solstice, marking the first official day of summer, but it was also the first 100 degree day in town.

Monsoon rain rolls in on the first day of summer

ORIGINAL STORY:

Some heavy rain began falling on Tucson's Eastside as thunderstorms moved to the north at about 10 to 15 mph. Drivers should expect some minor street flooding. Remember to slow down on the roads and give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination.

Expect storms to move out of the metro area and into the northeast through Redington Pass. So far, the outlook is quiet across Cochise County.

A Blowing Dust advisory is in effect for Pima County until 8 p.m. In southeastern Arizona, a Wind Advisory is in effect until 5 p.m.
