| episode_narrative | Scattered thunderstorms developed across the south-central Arizona deserts, including the greater Phoenix area, during the afternoon and evening hours on July 9th. The storms generated strong and gusty outflow winds in excess of 50 mph at times. The gusty winds generated widespread dense blowing dust which led to numerous dust storms across the lower deserts. Some of the dust storms affected the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, others impacted open country to the west, southwest and southeast of the Phoenix area. In many cases visibility was lowered well below one quarter of a mile in dense blowing dust. Fortunately no accidents or injuries were reported due to the dust storms. |
| event_narrative | Thunderstorms developed across the south-central deserts during the afternoon hours on July 9th; some of the stronger storms produced gusty outflow winds that generated dense blowing dust and dust storm conditions. The dust storm conditions impacted the southeastern portion of the greater Phoenix area. At 1519MST, a trained spotter 5 miles north of Mesa-Gateway Airport reported visibility down to 200 feet in a dust storm and this was near the intersection of Crismon and Baseline Roads. At the same time, the official AWOS weather station at the airport measured a visibility of one quarter mile in a dust storm. A Dust Storm Warning was in effect at the time; it was issued at 1519MST and was in effect until 1545MST. No accidents were reported due to the severely restricted visibility. |
