episode_narrativeLate monsoon thunderstorms developed across the central deserts during the afternoon hours on September 14th. As is typical with monsoon thunderstorms, a a few of the storms produced strong gusty outflow winds in excess of 50 mph. The gusty winds managed to stir up significant amounts of dust which led to dust storm conditions. Dust storms formed south of Phoenix, from around Gila Bend east through Ak-Chin and northeast towards Sun Lakes. Visibility lowered well below one quarter of a mile in a number of locations, falling as low as 25 feet near the town of Ak-Chin. Fortunately there were no reports of accidents or injuries as a result of the sharply reduced visibility. Two Dust Storm Warnings were issued as a result of the dense blowing dust.
event_narrativeMonsoon thunderstorms developed across the central deserts as well as areas to the south of Phoenix during the afternoon hours on September 14th. The stronger storms managed to generate very strong and gusty outflow winds that exceeded 50 mph at times. The strong winds stirred up significant amounts of dust, leading to dust storm conditions that affected the communities of Maricopa and Ak-Chin to the south of Phoenix. According to a report from the public, at 1634MST winds gusting over 50 mph caused a dust storm 3 miles east of the town of Ak-Chin. Visibility dropped as low as 25 feet in the dust storm. A Dust Storm Warning had been issued and was in effect at the time of the report. No accidents or injuries were reported as a result of the sharply reduced visibility. Additionally, at about the same time a spotter 3 miles southeast of the town of Maricopa reported visibility down to one quarter mile in a dust storm at the intersection of Bowlin and Porter Roads.
