| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong and cold upper level low pressure system was in place over the desert southwest on October 20th. The low was associated with elevated levels of moisture, instability and wind shear and as a result, scattered thunderstorms developed across south central Arizona, starting in the early morning hours and continuing throughout the day. Due in part to cold temperatures in the upper atmosphere, some of the stronger thunderstorms produced large hail with diameters greater than one inch. Funnel clouds were observed in the greater Phoenix area. Some storms also produced locally heavy rainfall which led to episodes of urban flooding as well as flash flooding. At 0800MST flash flooding occurred in far north Phoenix, in the town of Anthem, and resulted in a water rescue in Skunk Creek. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Thunderstorms moved across the northern portions of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the late morning hours on October 20th and due to elevated levels of moisture, instability and wind shear, the stronger storms produced locally heavy rainfall with peak rain rates in excess of one inch per hour. Locally heavy rain fell in the communities of north Phoenix and Deer Valley. A trained weather spotter 6 miles to the northeast of Peoria measured 1.24 inches of rain within a 20 minute period ending at 1035MST. The heavy rain fell just north of Happy Valley Road and near 43rd Avenue. The heavy rain led to significant urban street flooding in the area with water ponded to the top of the curbs. A Flash Flood Warning was issued for the area during the time of the street flooding but no flash flooding actually occurred in the area. |
