| episode_narrative | Monsoon thunderstorms developed across the south central deserts, including the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, during the evening hours on August 8th. The stronger storms produced gusty outflow winds well in excess of 40 mph; as is typically the case the strong winds stirred up significant amounts of dust which led to episodes of dense blowing dust and dust storm conditions. During the evening hours there were a number of trained spotters as well as members of the public reporting dust storms, with visibility values ranging from one quarter mile to zero miles in the dense blowing dust. In one instance, at about 1940MST a member of the public reported traffic at a standstill on the Loop 101 Freeway at Thomas road, in part due to near zero visibility in blowing dust. Fortunately, no accidents or injuries were reported due to the severely restricted visibility. |
| event_narrative | Thunderstorms with gusty outflow winds moved across the western portion of the greater Phoenix area during the evening hours on August 8th. The stronger storms generated outflow winds in excess of 40 mph which stirred up areas of blowing dust and created dust storm conditions that affected the town of Buckeye. According to a trained weather spotter located 3 miles northeast of Buckeye, at 1938MST visibility fell below one quarter of a mile in a dust storm. The dense blowing dust occurred near the intersection of Broadway Road and Watson Road. A Dust Storm Warning was issued at 1940MST but the warning was for an area just to the east of where the dense blowing dust was actually observed. |
