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 upper level Pacific low pressure system moved into Arizona during the day on Saturday March 1st, and produced scattered to numerous showers as well as isolated thunderstorms which affected the northern portions of the greater Phoenix area during the afternoon hours. Some of the heavier showers and thunderstorms produced locally heavy rainfall, with hourly rain rates exceeding one half inch per hour. According to a trained weather spotter located 5 miles northeast of Desert Ridge Marketplace in north Scottsdale, 1.5 inches of rainfall was measured ending at 1620MST. The heavy rain led to flooding of area roads, streams and washes and led to the issuance of both an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory and a Flash Flood Warning. The Flash Flood Warning was issued at 1659MST and was in effect through 1900MT, and it covered areas including north Scottsdale, Carefree and Cave Creek.
