Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeScattered monsoon thunderstorms developed across portions of the greater Phoenix area, including east valley communities from Mesa eastward through Superior, during the late afternoon and evening hours on July 21st. Some of the stronger storms produced intense rainfall with peak rain rates between 3 and 4 inches per hour and this led to episodes of flooding and flash flooding in communities such as Apache Junction, located between Phoenix and the higher terrain of southern Gila County. Several Flood Advisory products were issued for the area as well as a Flash Flood Warning; the Weekes Wash in Apache Junction experienced flash flooding although no injuries or water rescues ensued due to the flooding. In addition to the heavy rains, there was a brief episode of dense blowing dust near Queen Creek as strong thunderstorm outflow winds moved through the area stirring up dust and dirt.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThunderstorms with very heavy rain developed across the higher terrain areas well to the east of Phoenix during the late afternoon and evening hours on July 21st and some of the stronger storms affected the community of Superior. At 1900MST a trained spotter located 1 mile northeast of Superior measured 0.74 inches of rain within a 45 minute period. Heavy rain such as reported by the spotter resulted in the issuance of a Flood Advisory for the area around Superior; the advisory was first issued at 1727MST and continued through 2030MST. The flooding resulted in very hazardous driving conditions for motorists in the area, especially since some of the advisory took place at night.
