Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA large area of low pressure centered over southeast California brought convectively active weather to south central Arizona, including the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, during the day on October 6th. Wind fields were stronger than normal due to the proximity of the upper low; moisture and instability were elevated as well, and these factors combined to produce scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon hours across the central deserts. Some of the stronger thunderstorms produced large hail with diameters greater than one and one half inches. Trained weather spotters reported funnel clouds near Perryville and over the Estrella mountains. Heavy thunderstorm rainfall led to episodes of urban flooding and flash flooding; multiple Flood Advisories and Flash Flood Warning were issued across Maricopa county. Additionally, some of the storms produced strong winds; a wind gust to 60 mph was measured at the Coolidge airport at 1540MST.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeScattered thunderstorms developed across the northern portions of the greater Phoenix area during the early afternoon hours on October 6th; the storms affected the Interstate 17 corridor as well as the community of Anthem. Some of the stronger storms produced locally heavy rainfall with rain rates well in excess of one inch per hour. The heavy rain led to episodes of urban street flooding south of the community of Anthem. According to a trained weather spotter located 4 miles southeast of Anthem, at 1415MST heavy rain led to street flooding and field flooding along the Carefree Highway in the vicinity of Interstate 17. At the time of the flooding, a Flood Advisory was in effect; although the heavy rain had ended by 1445MST, the advisory remained in effect until approximately 1645MST.
