| episode_narrative | Scattered to numerous thunderstorms developed across south-central Arizona during the afternoon hours on August 2nd; many of the storms congealed into a large cluster of storms that moved slowly north and across Maricopa County into the evening hours. The storms generated strong and gusty outflow winds in excess of 60 mph that created widespread dust storms across the lower deserts. One large haboob that moved into the greater Phoenix area was at least 70 miles across and 5000 feet deep. Over a period of several hours, dozens of reports of dense blowing dust were received from trained spotters as well as the public and many reports indicated visibility had dropped to near zero miles in dense blowing dust. Three large Dust Storm Warnings were issued as a result of the widespread dust storms. Fortunately, no accidents or injuries were reported due to the very hazardous driving conditions that occurred as a result of the dense blowing dust. |
| event_narrative | A cluster of strong thunderstorms developed to the south of Phoenix during the afternoon hours and moved north and into the central portions of Phoenix area by early evening. The storms were accompanied by gusty outflow winds in excess of 60 mph which generated a massive haboob, or dust storm, that moved into the Phoenix area lowering visibility well below one quarter of a mile. At 1824MST, a trained spotter located 4 miles to the east of Ahwatukee Foothills reported visibility less than one quarter of a mile and dropping in the dust storm. A Dust Storm Warning was in effect for the area at the time. No accidents were reported due to the severely restricted visibility. |
