| episode_narrative | Scattered monsoon thunderstorms developed during the evening hours across much of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area on August 12th. The primary weather hazards associated with the storms were gusty and damaging outflow winds along with areas of dense blowing dust. Dense blowing dust and dust storm conditions with visibility down to near zero miles occurred from central Phoenix south through communities such as Chandler, and then as far south as Casa Grande. Numerous reports of significant wind damage were received from trained spotters, the public and broadcast media. Virtually all of the damage involved downed trees, such as the public report of a large eucalyptus tree that was blown into an apartment building at the intersection of Mill and Southern Avenue. There were no reports of injuries despite the numerous reports of wind damage across the Phoenix area. |
| event_narrative | Thunderstorms with gusty outflow winds affected the northern portion of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the late afternoon and early evening hours on August 12th; the stronger storms generated gusty outflow winds over 30 mph that created areas of dense blowing dust and associated dust storm conditions. At 1804MST a member of the public reported visibility lowered to one quarter of a mile in a dust storm, near the intersection of Bell Road and Tatum Boulevard. A Dust Storm Warning had been issued for the area just one minute prior to the public report, and the warning remained in effect through 1845MST. |
