episode_narrativeThunderstorms moved steadily toward the northeast during the afternoon hours. As a result, locally heavy rain, strong winds, and very low visibility due to dust and sand moved across the deserts.
event_narrativeWidespread areas of dense blowing dust spread across the metropolitan area. Winds of 40 to 50 mph were common. An automatic weather station at Tempe Town Lake recorded a peak wind gust of 51 mph. Flights were delayed at Sky Harbor Airport where the peak wind gust of 51 mph was recorded at 6:02 pm. Luke AFB had winds up to 48 mph that dramatically cut the visibility to a mere 1/8th mile just before 6 pm.
