| episode_narrative | Isolated thunderstorms developed across eastern and southeastern Arizona during the afternoon hours on July 5th. The storms generated gusty outflow winds in excess of 40 mph that spread west-northwestward and into the southeastern portions of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area as well as northwest Pinal County. Due to very dry ground conditions, the gusty winds picked up considerable amounts of dust, generating dust storms conditions lowering visibility well below one quarter of a mile in some locations. Dust storm conditions were reported by trained spotters as well as automated weather sensors. Some communities affected included Queen Creek, Gilbert, Mesa and Casa Grande. A Dust Storm Warning was issued due to the dense blowing dust. |
