Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThe ground across southwest and south central Arizona remained moist on December 15th, and with light wind and generally clear skies, locally dense fog developed again over the lower Arizona desert during the morning hours. Although patchy dense fog occurred from Phoenix westward to the lower Colorado river, some of the most dense fog occurred over portions of the southeast greater Phoenix area. Several trained spotters reported visibility at or below one quarter mile during the morning hours.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeGenerally clear skies, light wind and lingering low level moisture allowed locally dense fog to form over portions of the lower central and southwestern Arizona desert during the morning hours on December 15th. At 725 am, a trained weather spotter reported dense fog with a visibility down to one quarter mile at the intersection of Gilbert Road and the Hunt Highway, about 5 miles east of Sun Lakes. Another weather spotter in Queen Creek near the San Tan Mountain reported visibility down to 100 feet at 810 am. The fog disrupted the morning rush hour across the greater Phoenix area, and hindered travel along other major Arizona roads including Interstate 10 and Highway 60. Fortunately no significant accidents or injuries were reported with the hazardous driving conditions.
