Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeThunderstorms developed across much of south-central Arizona during the evening hours on August 9th and as is typical during the monsoon, they brought gusty and damaging outflow winds along with very heavy rain and flooding to the deserts. Peak rainfall rates were in excess of 2 inches per hour which led to some urban flooding in the greater Phoenix area. There were also instances of wind damage; trees were down in areas ranging from north of Sun City to southeast of Phoenix, in communities such as Chandler and Queen Creek. Also, at about 2030MST, strong winds in the Lake Pleasant area snapped ropes holding down some of the boats and even caused damage to one of the docks.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall developed across the central and eastern portion of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the late evening hours on August 9th. Rainfall rates with the stronger thunderstorms reached or exceeded 3 inches per hour; a Flood Control District gauge 2 miles east of East Mesa measured 1.54 inches within a 30 minute period ending at 2335MST. At 2335MST a trained spotter located 3 miles north of East Mesa reported curb to curb residential flooding near the intersection of Power Road and McDowell Road. He indicated that one inch of rain fell within 20 minutes, and peak rain rates exceeded 5 inches per hour for a brief period. Despite the intense rains, Flash Flooding was not reported as of 2335MST.
