| episode_narrative | Under a classic setup for storm motion from the Mogollon Rim to the Valley (Rim-to-Valley), with the monsoon 500mb high positioned over Nevada, a multicell storm cluster descended out of the White Mountains, through Gila County, and into the lower deserts of Maricopa and Pinal Counties in the early overnight hours of the 1st. Moisture levels were near average for the time of year, but steep mid level lapse rates over the high terrain (7-8 C/km) and modest shear (Sfc-6km around 20-25 kts) was sufficient to support the development of an organized multicell storm cluster. The environment was also supportive of strong downbursts, with DCAPE up around 1000-1500 J/kg. A single ordinary storm also developed in the Queen Creek/San Tan Valley area a couple hours before the multicell cluster moved into the lower deserts, and produced a damaging downburst. Strong winds leading to a dust storm was eventually generated by the multicell cluster once it moved into Maricopa and Pinal Counties. |
