Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA 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.
