It rained.

For the first time in 3 billion years?

excerpt:

SAN FRANCISCO, California (SPACE.com) -- NASA's Mars rovers have returned
new evidence for past water, pictures of Earth-like clouds seen for the
first time from the planet's surface, and a rock that doesn't look like
anything scientists have ever seen


Colorful Water Clouds Over Mars:
Explanation: One place where water can be found on Mars is in clouds
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap010417.html 

Those clouds are thin and nowhere near what you'd need for rain.  And
if it did rain, we'd see the effects in the next batch of downloads
from the rover.
