Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeScattered monsoon thunderstorms developed across portions of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the evening hours on July 29th and these storms primarily generated strong gusty and damaging winds as opposed to heavy rain and flooding. A brief episode of dense blowing dust also occurred near the town of Maricopa, to the southeast of Phoenix. For the most part, peak wind gusts reached to around 60 mph and they were responsible for downing a number of trees in addition to snapping a light pole in El Mirage. However, one very strong gust was measured at 83 mph at Luke Air Force Base at 1656MST.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThunderstorms with locally heavy rain developed over the far western portions of the greater Phoenix area during the afternoon hours on July 29th, and some of the stronger storms affected the area around Luke Air Force Base. At 1725MST a Maricopa County flood control gage measured 0.71 inches within 30 minutes. The gage was located west of the base at the intersection of West Camelback Road and North Citrus Road. Heavy rain of this magnitude led resulted in urban flooding to the west of the air force base: at 1710MST a report from the public was received indicating that streets were flooded curb to curb and local basins and canals were above capacity. The flooding was just west of the loop 303, near West Glendale Avenue. An Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory was issued for the area at 1648MST due to the heavy rain and it remained in effect through 1845MST.
