| episode_narrative | With the subtropical high pressure centered near Las Vegas, Nevada, the overall steering flow was from the north to northeast. Strong daytime heating in combination with PWAT values of 1.5+ inches resulted in MLCAPE values in excess of 1000 J/KG and DCAPE values in excess of 1500 J/KG. In addition, in the upper-levels, there was a disturbance that helped with the vertical ascent. As a result, the environment was primed for the development of strong to severe thunderstorms. Strong thunderstorm activity developed across the Mogollon Rim during the late morning into the early afternoon hours and was steered southwestward towards south-central AZ. A deep, long traveling outflow boundary developed and surged well ahead of the activity and traversed the entire Phoenix metro area with strong winds as well as areas of blowing dust during the mid to late afternoon hours. The outflow boundary as it continued to migrate southward sparked additional thunderstorm activity across portions of northwest Pinal and southwest Maricopa Counties. |
| event_narrative | Social media video showed visibility around 1/4 mile in Surprise due to dense blowing dust from thunderstorm outflow winds. No accidents nor injuries were reported. |
