| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A vigorous upper level low pressure system and associated cold front combined to produce strong thunderstorms with locally heavy rain over south central Arizona during the afternoon and evening hours on September 27th. During the early afternoon, a severe squall line moved east across south central Arizona, bringing damaging winds. Shortly thereafter, heavy rains developed which initially led to both urban flooding and flash flooding; as the afternoon progressed more significant areal flooding developed over the central deserts which prompted the issuance of multiple Areal Flood Warnings. Numerous Flash Flood Warnings and Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisories were issued for south central Arizona with this heavy rainfall event. No injuries were reported due to the flooding. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | A line of powerful thunderstorms moved across the greater Phoenix area during the afternoon hours on September 27th, and they affected communities such as Scottsdale. The storms produced very heavy rainfall with peak rain rates in excess of 2 inches per hour at times, and the rain led to significant urban flooding in Scottsdale. According to an amateur radio report, curb to curb street flooding was observed at the intersection of Pima and Thomas Roads, about 2 miles southeast of downtown Scottsdale. Additionally, a trained spotter 2 miles northeast of downtown Scottsdale reported curb to curb flooding with some areas impassable. The heavy rain created hazardous driving conditions for motorists during the evening rush hour. Initially, at about 1430MST an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory was issued for the entire greater Phoenix metropolitan area; the advisory was upgraded to a Flash Flood Warning at 1530MST. |
