Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeScattered thunderstorms developed across portions of south central Arizona during the evening hours on August 30th, and due to a favorable combination of elevated moisture, instability and winds aloft, some of the stronger storms produced strong gusty and damaging microburst winds. Some of the most significant damage affected the central portion of the greater Phoenix area, but wind damage also occurred in Gila Bend. Gusty microburst winds in excess of 65 mph snapped trees and power poles, destroyed walls and horse stables and blew over a 300 pound barbeque grill. Locally heavy rainfall was also observed and this led to street flooding issues in the town of Laveen. Fortunately, no injuries were reported as a result of the strong winds.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeScattered thunderstorms affected the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the evening hours on August 30th, and one area that was especially impacted was the south central portion including the town of Laveen. Strong thunderstorms in the area produced locally heavy rainfall with peak rain rates in excess of 1 inch per hour, and the rain was sufficient to cause episodes of urban street flooding. At 2145MST a trained weather spotter in Laveen reported that Dobbins Road between 43rd Avenue and 23rd Avenue was covered 2 to 4 inches deep in water. Some of the water was flowing but most of the water was ponded. About 15 minutes earlier an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory was issued for the Laveen and South Mountain Park area; the advisory was in effect until 2230MST.
