| episode_narrative | Isolated severe storms developed over the high terrain east of Phoenix in the afternoon and progressed westward through Maricopa, Pinal, and parts of Yuma county through the evening. The storms produced damaging outflow winds as they progressed through southeast Phoenix which also led to the development of a dust storm south of Phoenix in dust prone areas. The outflow and dust pushed into Yuma county later in the evening before diffusing. |
| event_narrative | A trained spotter near the town of Maricopa reported visibility fell to roughly 250 feet within a dust storm. The dust storm was kicked up by outflow winds produced by storms in northern Pinal county. Winds with this dust storm were estimated around 30-35 mph based on radar. A separate much stronger outflow then pushed through the same area around 1951 MST, associated with severe warned storms in eastern Maricopa and northern Pinal counties, with winds estimated around 55-60 mph. A dust storm warning was in effect for this area from 1911 to 2015 MST. No injuries were reported. |
