Due to the very moist and unstable nature of the atmosphere, the storms generated both very heavy rain and strong, gusty damaging winds, estimated to be in excess of 70 mph. Most of the damage occurred in the communities of Mesa and Chandler during the early evening. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Scattered thunderstorms developed across the greater Phoenix area during the late afternoon and early evening hours on August 20th, and they affected east valley communities such as Mesa. Due to the very humid and unstable nature of the atmosphere, the thunderstorms were able to produce very heavy rain with rain rates well in excess of 2 inches per hour. An automated Flood Control District gage located near the intersection of Higley and Broadway road measured 1.26 inches of rain between 716 and 801 pm. In addition, a trained weather spotter located about 6 miles east of Mesa measured 1.25 inches of rain between 700 and 735 pm. The intense rainfall led to urban flooding across the eastern portions of the greater Phoenix area during the evening hours. |
