Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeScattered thunderstorms developed across the eastern portion of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area and some of the stronger storms impacted the community of Mesa. Locally heavy rain fell in east Mesa; at 2132MST a trained spotter reported one inch of rain within a 30 minute period. The rain led to urban flooding and the issuance of a flood advisory. In addition, the storms generated gusty and damaging outflow winds estimated to be in excess of 60 mph. The wind damaged 3 carports and a few mobile home roofs in east Mesa. Trees and flagpoles were also downed by the strong winds. No injuries were reported fortunately.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeStrong thunderstorms developed across the eastern portion of the greater Phoenix area during the evening hours on July 20th and some of them brought locally heavy rainfall to the community of Mesa. Peak rain rates with the heavier showers reached two inches per hour; at about 2130MST a trained spotter 4 miles north of East Mesa measured one inch of rain which fell within 30 minutes. The rain did not cause flash flooding, rather it was sufficient to cause urban street flooding and necessitated the issuance of an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory for East Mesa as well as a number of other communities in the area. The advisory was allowed to expire at 2145MST following significant reduction in rainfall across the area.
