Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong upper low system passing through the area helped generate convection in western Maricopa county in the afternoon of the 21st. Modest instability and shear was enough to generate isolated strong storms with multiple reports of funnel clouds, hail, and heavy rain. There were two reports of funnel clouds over far western Maricopa County near the county border, one of which was along Interstate 10 just west of the county line. On the southwest side of Phoenix, one especially strong storm became severe and strengthened into a supercell. The storm developed a wall cloud and produced heavy rain as well as several reports of hail at least one inch in diameter.. Hail was reported in communities such as Buckeye, Avondale and Goodyear.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA strong thunderstorm developed across the far western portion of Maricopa County during the early afternoon hours on November 21st. In addition to the typical thunderstorm hazards including wind and heavy rain, the storm managed to produce a funnel cloud at about 1305MST. The funnel cloud was observed by a motorist on Interstate 10 about 10 miles to the west of the town of Tonopah; the motorist also took video of the funnel which was located just north of the interstate. The storm had a history of producing funnel clouds; about one half hour earlier the storm generated another funnel along the interstate and just west of the county line in far eastern La Paz County. Although no damage was produced by the funnel, it was still noteworthy as funnel clouds are rare across the deserts of southern Arizona.
