Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA weakening but still potent upper level low pressure system continued to push east across Arizona during the day on March 13th, and the atmosphere across the central deserts was still very humid and a bit unstable. As the system moved across the greater Phoenix area, scattered afternoon thunderstorms developed over the greater Phoenix area. Some of the thunderstorms generated very heavy rains; a trained spotter near the town of Surprise measured 0.7 inches of rain within a 10 minute period. The heavy rain resulted in episodes of street flooding as well as flash flooding. At about 1700MST flash flooding on Cave Creek near 7th Avenue and Greenway Road. Water 6 inches deep was flowing across 7th Avenue as reported by the public. Heavy rain 3 miles south of Deer Valley caused flash flooding at the Interstate 17 and Greenway underpass to flood. Water 1 to 2 feet deep filled up the underpass resulting in at least one stalled car. A Flash Flood Warning was issued and in effect at the time of the underpass flooding. There were no reports of injuries due to the flooding.
