| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Scattered to numerous thunderstorms developed and moved north across the southwest and west portion of the greater Phoenix area during the evening hours on August 2nd. In addition to gusty and damaging winds, many of the storms produced locally heavy rainfall; trained spotters measured peak rain rates in excess of 2 inches at times. The heavy rains led to episodes of flash flooding to the southwest of central Phoenix and in the Little Rainbow Valley located northeast of the Maricopa Mountains. Heavy rains and flash flooding forced the closure of Highway 238 near milepost 30, between Gila Bend and the town of Maricopa. Additionally, Rainbow Valley Road, 14 miles southeast of Buckeye, was closed due to swiftly flowing water across the road. A Flash Flood warning was issued during the evening due to the flooding along Highway 238. No injuries were reported due to the flash flooding. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Scattered thunderstorms moved northward and across the south and southwest portions of the greater Phoenix area during the late afternoon and early evening hours on August 2nd. Some of the stronger storms generated heavy rains with peak rain rates measured to be in excess over 2 inches per hour. At 1751MST a trained spotter located about 7 miles southwest of Ak Chin Village measured 0.8 inches of rain within a 20 minute period. He also reported gusts to 45 mph which were sufficient to blow some items around the area. No significant damages were reported. Shortly thereafter another spotter about 1 mile further west measured 1.1 inches of rain within 30 minutes. The heavy rain led to the issuance of a Flood Advisory at 1800MST for the area southwest of the town of Maricopa down to the Interstate 8 corridor. No flash flooding was reported. |
