| 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 developed over the higher terrain of eastern Arizona during the late afternoon hours on July 30th and during the evening they spread into the north and northwest portions of the greater Phoenix area. Some of the stronger storms generated gusty outflow winds up to or in excess of 40 mph; the gusty winds generated areas of dense blowing dust that affected the Carefree and Cave Creek communities. At 1845MST a trained spotter located about 6 miles southwest of Cave Creek reported visibility down to 100 feet in dense blowing dust. The dust storm was near the intersection of Central Avenue and the Carefree Highway. The spotter reported 40 mph winds at the time of the dust storm. No Dust Storm Warning was in effect at the time of the report. |
