episode_narrativeExcessive heat continued across the lower deserts of Arizona on the 2nd of July, and this led to isolated and high based thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening hours. During the evening hours, strong and gusty outflow winds in excess of 40 mph generated dust storm conditions across portions of northwest Pinal county. Several trained weather spotters in communities such as Casa Grande and Coolidge reported visibilities below one quarter mile in dense blowing dust.
