| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | As a weakening, but still strong upper level low pressure system moved east across the Phoenix area on March 13th, it was able to interact with a moist and unstable air mass and produce isolated to scattered thunderstorms. For the most part the storms were not especially strong, but a couple of them managed to produce both large hail and a funnel cloud. The funnel cloud, which occurred about 5 miles to the southeast of Wittmann, was observed by a trained spotter and while it did not produce any damage it was notable for its rarity as well as media interest. The large hail occurred about 6 miles to the northeast of the town of Surprise; hailstones approached one inch in diameter but did not produce any reported damage. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Isolated to scattered thunderstorms developed across the central deserts and to the northwest of Phoenix during the late morning hours on March 13th. One of the stronger storms generated a funnel cloud. According to a trained spotter located about 5 miles to the southeast of the town of Wittmann, at 1025MST a funnel cloud was observed along Highway 60 between Patton Road and Happy Valley Road. Although the funnel did not produce any damage, it was noteworthy due to its rarity and high media interest. |
