| 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 western portion of the greater Phoenix area during the evening hours on July 30th; some of the stronger storms generated gusty outflow winds well in excess of 40 mph. The gusty winds stirred up dense blowing dust which led to dust storm conditions over northwest valley communities such as Surprise and Waddell. At 1939MST the public reported that visibility had dropped to 600 feet in a dust storm about 2 miles southwest of Waddell. The dust storm was near the intersection of Cactus Road and Sarival Avenue, just east of the Loop 303 freeway. A Dust Storm Warning was not in effect at the time of the report. |
