| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong and cold upper level low pressure system was in place over the desert southwest on October 20th. The low was associated with elevated levels of moisture, instability and wind shear and as a result, scattered thunderstorms developed across south central Arizona, starting in the early morning hours and continuing throughout the day. Due in part to cold temperatures in the upper atmosphere, some of the stronger thunderstorms produced large hail with diameters greater than one inch. Funnel clouds were observed in the greater Phoenix area. Some storms also produced locally heavy rainfall which led to episodes of urban flooding as well as flash flooding. At 0800MST flash flooding occurred in far north Phoenix, in the town of Anthem, and resulted in a water rescue in Skunk Creek. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Scattered thunderstorms developed across south central Arizona, including the greater Phoenix area, during the morning hours on October 20th. Due in part to elevated levels of wind shear and cold temperatures aloft, some of the thunderstorms actually produced funnel clouds. According to a report from the public, a cold air funnel cloud was seen near the intersection of Interstate 17 and Greenway Road. The funnel cloud was not long lasting and never reached the ground. |
