| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A very moist and unstable atmosphere led to the formation of widespread showers and thunderstorms across south central Arizona during the morning hours on July 21st. The storms were persistent and continued to develop and move slowly across the deserts well into the afternoon hours, leading to significant flooding and flash flooding. Due to the exeedingly moist nature of the airmass, there was little if any wind damage with the thunderstorms, however very heavy rain leading to flooding was common; rainfall rates were as high as 3 inches per hour at times. Some locations that were hit especially hard by the flooding included Scottsdale and Apache Junction. A variety of hydrological products were issued on Sunday including Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisories, Flash Flood Warnings and Flood Warnings. |

By late morning, thunderstorms were widespread across the northeast parts of the greater Phoenix area, including Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, and rain rates in excess of two inches per hour were indicated by rain gage reports and radar estimates. According to county officials, a Maricopa County Flood Control District rain gage on East Doubletree Ranch Road near North Scottsdale Road in central Scottsdale measured 1.65 inches of rain within 30 minutes ending at 1111 am. A Flood Control rain gage on Shea Boulevard near Highway 51 in Paradise Valley measured 1.97 inches of rain within 30 minutes ending at 1120 am. Also, a flood control gage in Cave Creek measured 1.73 inches of rain in one hour, ending at 1144 am. The heavy rain led to multiple road closures across northeast parts of the greater Phoenix area including Scottsdale and it led to multiple swift water rescues. Although Flash Flood Warnings were not issued for Scottsdale, Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisories were issued beginning at about 10 am and continuing through 130 pm. Another Flood Advisory was later issued for Scottsdale at 312 pm which continued through 5 pm. |
