Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA vigorous upper level low pressure system moved out of the eastern Pacific and into Arizona on the first weekend of March, bringing locally heavy rainfall and isolated severe thunderstorms to south central Arizona. During the day on Saturday, March 1st, widespread moderate to heavy rain fell; many locations across the central deserts including the Greater Phoenix area picked up amounts in excess of one inch. The rain led to flooding of area roads and washes and prompted the issuance of several Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisories. In addition, isolated severe thunderstorms developed, affecting portions of the greater Phoenix area. The storms produced tree damage, generated small to moderate hail and even produced a weak tornado which briefly touched down in east Mesa.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeA vigorous and wet Pacific low pressure system slowly moved into Arizona during the day on March 1st, and as a result scattered showers of moderate to heavy rain fell affecting much of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Scattered showers developed in the morning hours and persisted into the afternoon, affecting communities such as Glendale, Scottsdale and Paradise Valley. According to a trained weather spotter 2 miles northeast of North Mountain Park, at 1212MST minor street flooding was observed due to locally heavy rainfall. The spotter measured 0.55 inches of rain which fell in a 30 minute period. Earlier rains which occurred during the late morning hours contributed to the street flooding. At approximately the same time, another trained spotter near Anthem measured nearly one inch of rain with the rainfall beginning during the previous night.
