Event narrativeevent_narrativeAided by an unseasonably strong upper level low pressure system, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developed across the central Arizona deserts during the evening hours on May 15th. The stronger storms produced locally heavy rainfall which affected the greater Phoenix area; a trained weather spotter 2 miles northwest of Gilbert measured 1.00 inch of rain within a 45 minute period ending at 2005MST. The rainfall resulted in minor street flooding in the area. Additionally, at 2022MST another spotter 2 miles northwest of the Chandler Fashion Place Mall estimated that 1.5 inches of rain fell during the evening resulting in water rising out of the street and across the front walk. The heavy rain and urban flooding resulted in the issuance of an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory.
