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_narrativeScattered showers and isolated thunderstorms developed across south central Arizona during the afternoon hours on March 1st as a strong, wet Pacific low pressure system moved across the state. Locally heavy rainfall occurred, affecting the greater Phoenix area including communities such as Youngtown and Peoria. According to a trained weather spotter, heavy rainfall near the Loop 101 and Peoria Avenue caused minor flooding along Peoria Avenue, and traffic was forced to come to a stop. The street flooding occurred at approximately 1550MST. The heavy rain and street flooding also led to the issuance of an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory at 1556MST. The advisory was in effect until 1756MST and included west valley communities such as Youngtown, Glendale and Peoria.
