Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeNumerous showers and thunderstorms developed across the south central Arizona deserts during the afternoon hours on the 14th, and they continued into the evening. Due to the very moist and unstable nature of the atmosphere, the storms produced locally heavy rainfall which led to episodes of flash flooding or flooding. Radar and rain gages indicated that rainfall rates exceeded 3 inches per hour at times. A few of the storms produced wet microbursts with damaging wind in excess of 60 mph. Much of the heavy rain and flash flooding affected the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, especially the southeastern portions.

Due to the very moist and unstable airmass in place, most of the storms generated locally heavy rain, with the highest rain rates observed to be in excess of 2 inches per hour. According to a trained weather spotter in Gilbert, 2.25 inches of rain fell between 330 pm and 430 pm at a home located at Val Vista and Elliot roads. The heavy rain led to some street flooding at the San Tan Village Mall. Marble sized hail also occurred, along with some gusty winds that damaged a few trees in the area.
