episode_narrativeScattered monsoon thunderstorms developed across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the evening hours on September 2nd. The storms brought many of the typical weather hazards to the area: strong gusty and damaging outflow winds, locally heavy rain and urban flooding, and dense blowing dust. Dust storm conditions were observed east of Phoenix; the visibility dropped to one quarter of a mile in dense blowing dust at Phoenix Mesa-Gateway airport at 1805MST. At 1729MST trained spotters in the Tolleson area west of Phoenix measured 1.2 inches of rain and that resulted in curb to curb street flooding. Wind damage occurred in north Phoenix; the public reported that a tree was blown down onto a fence at 12th Avenue and Cave Creek Road. Finally, at about 1800MST there were multiple reports from trained spotters and the public regarding storm damage including multiple trees down in the community of Queen Creek. No injuries were reported due to the wind damage.
event_narrativeThunderstorms with strong and gusty outflow winds affected the east and southeast portion of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the late afternoon and early evening hours on September 2nd. The stronger storms generated gusty outflow winds in excess of 40 mph that created dense blowing dust and dust storm conditions. At 1805MST the official AWOS weather station at the Phoenix Mesa-Gateway airport measured a visibility of one quarter mile in blowing dust. Winds were measured at 40 mph at the time. A Dust Storm Warning was issued for the area at 1725MST and it remained in effect until 1900MST. No accidents were reported due to the sharply reduced visibility and subsequent hazardous driving conditions.
