episode_narrativeIsolated thunderstorms developed across the south central deserts of Arizona during the late afternoon and evening hours on August 26th. The storms produced strong gusty outflow winds which were strong enough to generate dust storm conditions over the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, as well as the deserts of northwestern Pinal county.
event_narrativeIsolated thunderstorms developed across the south central deserts during the late afternoon hours on August 26th, and they generated strong gusty winds which led to dust storm conditions over portions of northwest Pinal county. Multiple trained spotters in the community of Casa Grande reported visibilities at or below one quarter mile in dense blowing dust. One of the spotters in Casa Grande reported 50 foot visibility in a dust storm. The sharply reduced visibility was a major disruption to area motorists during the rush hour.
