| episode_narrative | Thunderstorms developed across the higher terrain of eastern Arizona during the afternoon hours on July 30th, and during the evening some of them spread westward and into the south-central deserts. The stronger storms generated gusty outflow winds in excess of 40 mph; the winds were sufficient to stir up significant amounts of blowing dust which then resulted in dust storm conditions. During the evening hours, there were numerous reports, both from trained spotters as well as the public, of dust storms which moved through the greater Phoenix metropolitan area as well as the more open desert to the south and southwest of central Phoenix. Additionally, dust storms were indicated by automated weather station observations; at 2051MST the Gila Bend ASOS reported visibility down to one quarter of a mile in blowing dust. Numerous Dust Storm Warnings as well as Dust Advisories were issued as a result of the dense blowing dust. Fortunately, no accidents were reported due to the severely restricted visibility and hazardous driving conditions. |
| event_narrative | Thunderstorms moved across the eastern portion of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the evening hours on July 30th; some of the stronger storms generated gusty outflow winds in excess of 50 mph. The gusty winds generated areas of dense blowing dust that resulted in dust storm conditions over communities such as Scottsdale. At about 1915MST, a trained spotter located 2 miles south of Scottsdale reported one quarter mile visibility in a dust storm at the intersection of 74th Street and McDowell Road. Later, at 1938MST, another trained spotter 2 miles southeast of North Scottsdale reported visibility down to one quarter mile in a dust storm. The dense blowing dust was occurring near the intersection of the 101 Freeway and Cactus Road. A Dust Storm Warning was not in effect at the time of the report. No accidents were reported due to the sharply restricted visibility. |
