| episode_narrative | Strong to severe thunderstorm development had occured in the early afternoon hours of July 5th near the Tucson, AZ area and east of Tucson. As thunderstorms dissipated and began moving northwest, outflows from these storms began producing very strong downburst winds, some in excess of 70 mph. Around 6:30pm MST, the NWS Phoenix office began receiving calls of dust moving into the Casa Grande, AZ area, about 50 miles southeast of downtown Phoenix. Upon examining radar data, it is estimated the dust storm reached a maximum height of 5000 feet to 6000 feet, the aerial coverage was close to 100 miles and the distance traveled was around 150 miles. |
| event_narrative | Very strong thunderstorms developed southeast of the greater Phoenix area and north of Tucson during the late afternoon hours on July 5th. The storms produced gusty outflow winds in excess of 50 mph which moved to the northwest and across northwest Pinal county. The strong winds generated dense blowing dust which turned into a massive haboob more than one mile high. A number of weather spotters reported visibilities down to near zero miles, with winds between 35 and 55 mph. At 645 pm, a trained spotter near Arizona City reported zero visibility with winds gusting up to 55 mph. Another spotter in Johnson Ranch reported visibility down to 150 feet with winds 30 mph or greater. The massive haboob significantly disrupted traffic across northwest Pinal county during the early evening hours. |
