| episode_narrative | An upper level Pacific low located along the southern California coast spread moisture into south central Arizona on September 11th. The moisture, combined with an unstable airmass, allowed scattered strong thunderstorms to develop during the afternoon and evening hours. Damaging winds in excess of 50 mph, dense blowing dust and large hail were all reported with these thunderstorms. A dust storm was generated across portions of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the early evening hours. |
| event_narrative | Thunderstorms to the south of the greater Phoenix area produced gusty outflow winds which stirred up significant dust and generated a dust storm which moved into the central and eastern portions of the greater Phoenix area during the early evening hours on September 11th. Multiple trained weather spotters reported visibility at or below one quarter mile in dense blowing dust...including a spotter in Laveen at 7th Avenue and Interstate 10. The blowing dust was a significant hazard to motorists during the latter stages of the rush hour. |
