Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeScattered monsoon thunderstorms developed across the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the evening hours on September 2nd. The storms brought many of the typical weather hazards to the area: strong gusty and damaging outflow winds, locally heavy rain and urban flooding, and dense blowing dust. Dust storm conditions were observed east of Phoenix; the visibility dropped to one quarter of a mile in dense blowing dust at Phoenix Mesa-Gateway airport at 1805MST. At 1729MST trained spotters in the Tolleson area west of Phoenix measured 1.2 inches of rain and that resulted in curb to curb street flooding. Wind damage occurred in north Phoenix; the public reported that a tree was blown down onto a fence at 12th Avenue and Cave Creek Road. Finally, at about 1800MST there were multiple reports from trained spotters and the public regarding storm damage including multiple trees down in the community of Queen Creek. No injuries were reported due to the wind damage.
Event narrativeevent_narrativeThunderstorms with locally heavy rain developed across the western portion of the greater Phoenix metropolitan area during the evening hours on September 2nd. Some the stronger storms produced rain rates in excess of 3 inches per hour which led to flooding issues in communities such as Tolleson and Avondale. At 1729MST a trained weather spotter located about 3 miles northwest of the town of Tolleson reported 1.20 inches of rain that fell in a 20 minute period. The heavy rain occurred at 107th Avenue and Thomas road and resulted in curb to curb street flooding. Despite the intense rainfall, flash flooding was not observed. Shortly after the report, an Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory was issued for the area; it was issued at 1735MST and remained in effect until 2030MST.
