episode_narrativeStrong high pressure aloft was centered over northern Arizona on July 17th, setting up a brisk northeast flow aloft over southeast Arizona. Afternoon thunderstorms that formed on the Mogollon Rim and the White Mountains northeast of Tucson were pushed southwest across southern Arizona. A relatively dry boundary layer led to several instances of damaging downburst winds, along with areas of blowing dust.
event_narrativeStrong thunderstorm winds created widespread blowing dust in Safford, with a trained spotter reporting less than 1/4 mile visibility in the downtown area.
