episode_narrativeStrong thunderstorms developed across portions of south central Arizona, including the greater Phoenix area, during the late afternoon and evening hours on August 18th. The storms produced strong gusty outflow winds which caused a dust storm over the lower deserts, including portions of the greater Phoenix area and western Pinal counties. Damaging microburst winds and locally heavy rain accompanied the strong storms.
event_narrativeStrong thunderstorms developed over the south central deserts during the late afternoon hours on August 18th. The strong outflow winds from the storms generated a dust storm which moved steadily from the southeastern valley towards the northwest from approximately 5 pm through 8 pm. Much of the greater Phoenix area was affected. A number of trained weather spotters reported visiblities down to one quarter of a mile or below in dense blowing dust. A weather spotter 5 miles east of Sun Lakes reported visibility below one quarter of a mile in blowing dust at 520 pm. At 523 pm the official weather station at Mesa Gateway airport measured a visibility of one quarter mile.
