| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developed across much of central Arizona during the morning hours on August 19th, and they moved steadily towards the northeast for a period of several hours, affecting the greater Phoenix metropolitan areas as well as higher terrain locations to the north and northeast of Phoenix. Due to relatively slow storm movement combined with training of echoes, heavy rainfall occurred with rain rates in excess of once inch per hour. Some locations in favored upslope areas such as New River received storm total rainfall amounts greater than 3 inches. The heavy rain led initially to flash flooding of streams, washes and roads, and subsequently areal flooding as the terrain became inundated. Multiple swift water rescues were needed, homes and trailers were flooded, and roads were closed from northern Phoenix northward into Yavapai county. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Showers and thunderstorms developed across the western and northern portions of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area after 0600MST, and they continued to intensify and move northeast into the mid morning hours on August 12th. The stronger storms produced locally heavy rain with rainfall rates between one and two inches per hour. The rain led to significant urban flooding; at 0712MST a west valley trained spotter 5 miles southwest of Beardsley measured 1.38 inches of rain within 35 minutes. He indicated that significant ponding was occurring on area roads. At 0647MST another trained spotter 2 miles northeast of Sun City West estimated one inch of rain in about one hour. |
