Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeScattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms developed across south central Arizona, including the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, during the early morning hours on August 11th. Some of the heavier rains began falling over the southeastern portion of the Phoenix area including communities such as Mesa, Chandler and Queen Creek as of 0400MST and required the issuance of Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisories. Rain continued into the morning hours and led to areal flooding of roads, streams and washes. Numerous roads became closed and extensive street flooding was observed. The Small Stream Flood Advisories were upgraded to Areal Flood Warnings; some of the most significant urban flooding occurred in the community of Mesa and the flooding persisted through the morning and into the early afternoon hours.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThunderstorms with heavy rain developed over much of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area, especially the eastern portion, during the morning hours on August 11th. Peak rain rates with the heavier showers were in excess of one inch per hour, and the rains eventually led to episodes of urban street flooding in communities such as Scottsdale and Mesa. At 0900MST a trained weather spotter 2 miles northeast of North Scottsdale reported curb to curb flooding at the intersection of Thompson Peak and Bell Roads as well as nearby areas. He also noted that area washes were running. At about 0900MST an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory was issued for the area and it remained in effect through 1200MST. Flash flooding was not reported in the area.
