| episode_narrative | Scattered thunderstorms developed over the higher terrain of southeast Arizona during the afternoon hours on July 21st. The storms produced strong outflow winds in excess of 40 mph which moved to the northwest and into the south central deserts during the late afternoon hours. The strong winds picked up substantial dust and dirt and created a massive dust storm which moved into the greater Phoenix metropolitan area after about 5 pm. Numerous weather spotters reported winds above 40 mph and visibilities below one quarter of a mile in a dust storm. The near zero visibilities created very hazardous driving conditions and led to some traffic accidents. No serious injuries or fatalities were reported. |
