Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeScattered 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_narrativeThunderstorms developed across western and northern portions of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area after 0600MST on August 19th, and they continued to intensify and move northeast into the middle of the morning. The stronger storms generated very heavy rain with rainfall rates between one and two inches per hour and the heavy rain led to significant urban flooding. The heavy rain affected communities such as Peoria and Deer Valley. At 0703MST, a trained weather spotter 6 miles west of the Deer Valley airport measured 1.75 inches of rain within 45 minutes. The heavy rain led to significant urban flooding in the area, and an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory was issued at 0627MST.
