| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A large area of low pressure centered over southeast California brought convectively active weather to south central Arizona, including the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, during the day on October 6th. Wind fields were stronger than normal due to the proximity of the upper low; moisture and instability were elevated as well, and these factors combined to produce scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon hours across the central deserts. Some of the stronger thunderstorms produced large hail with diameters greater than one and one half inches. Trained weather spotters reported funnel clouds near Perryville and over the Estrella mountains. Heavy thunderstorm rainfall led to episodes of urban flooding and flash flooding; multiple Flood Advisories and Flash Flood Warning were issued across Maricopa county. Additionally, some of the storms produced strong winds; a wind gust to 60 mph was measured at the Coolidge airport at 1540MST. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Scattered thunderstorms developed across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the afternoon hours on October 6th; due to stronger than normal wind fields aloft and elevated instability some of the stronger storms produced funnel clouds. According to a trained weather spotter located just to the west of Estrella Mountain Regional Park, a funnel cloud developed in the Rainbow Valley area at about 1210MST. Almost one half hour later, another trained spotter 3 miles north of Perryville reported a funnel cloud just to the north of the Papago Freeway. The funnel clouds were short lived and they never reached the ground. |
