Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThunderstorms developed across portions of south central Arizona during the afternoon on August 27th, and many of them affected the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Due to a combination of elevated moisture and instability and moderately strong winds aloft, the stronger storms were able to produce strong, damaging microburst winds, in addition to locally heavy rain and small hail. The storms produced a wide variety of damage and impacted a number of communities, including Peoria, Glendale, Surprise, central Phoenix and Tempe. Numerous trees and power poles were blown down, metal carports were ripped apart and significant damage occurred to a mobile home park near Phoenix Metro Center. Heavy rain, with rain rates approaching 2 inches per hour, led to urban flooding in Superior.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeStrong thunderstorms continued across much of the greater Phoenix area during the late afternoon hours on August 27th. Some of the storms produced locally heavy rainfall, affecting central Phoenix communities such as Mesa and Tempe. Peak rainfall rates were measured to be around 2 inches per hour. According to an amateur radio report, one inch of rain was measured within 30 minutes about one mile northwest of Arizona State University in north Tempe. The heavy rain led to the issuance of an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory at 1701MST. However, no reports of significant flooding were received.
