...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS OCCURING OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN ARIZONA
DESERTS...

AT 430 PM MST...PHOENIX DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED A STRONG CLUSTER OF
THUNDERSTORMS IN SOUTHERN MARICOPA COUNTY...AND ANOTHER CLUSTER OF
THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTHERN YUMA AND SOUTHERN LA PAZ COUNTY.

THE CLUSTER OF STORMS OVER SOUTHERN MARICOPA COUNTY WAS PRODUCING
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL AS IT MOVED VERY SLOWLY TO THE WEST.  THE
STRONGEST THUNDERSTORMS WERE LOCATED ABOUT 15 MILES SOUTH OF GILA
BEND...EAST OF STATE ROUTE 85.  THESE STORMS WERE PART OF A LARGE
COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS THAT EXTENDED SOUTHWARD INTO WESTERN PIMA
COUNTY.

ANOTHER CLUSTER OF STORMS WAS LOCATED ALONG THE YUMA AND LA PAZ
COUNTY LINE...SOUTH OF INTERSTATE 10.  THESE STORMS WERE PRODUCING
MODERATE AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL AND WERE NEARLY STATIONARY.

RADAR DERIVED RAINFALL ESTIMATES FROM THE STORMS ACROSS THE
SOUTHWESTERN DESERTS INDICATE THAT AS MUCH AS 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAIN
MAY HAVE FALLEN UNDER THE STRONGER STORMS.  DUE TO THE SLOW MOVEMENT
OF THESE STORMS...MINOR LOCALIZED FLOODING IS POSSIBLE ALONG ROADWAYS
AND IN NORMALLY DRY CREEK BEDS.

STRONG GUSTY WINDS...BLOWING DUST...AND FREQUENT DANGEROUS LIGHTNING
ARE ALSO POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS.  STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER
RADIO OR LOCAL RADIO AND TV STATIONS FOR THE LATEST WEATHER

610 PM MST MON AUG 14 1995

AT 605 PM MST...PHOENIX DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS IN SOUTHERN MARICOPA COUNTY...PRODUCING MODERATE TO
HEAVY RAINFALL.  MOST OF THESE STORMS WERE LOCATED TO THE WEST AND
SOUTHWEST OF GILA BEND AND WERE DRIFTING SLOWLY TO THE WEST.  SOME OF
THE STRONGEST STORMS WERE LOCATED JUST NORTHWEST OF SENTINEL.

SINCE THESE THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING SLOWLY...THEY WILL LIKELY CAUSE
LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL.  RADAR DERIVED RAINFALL ESTIMATES INDICATE
THAT AS MUCH AS 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN MAY HAVE FALLEN JUST TO THE
NORTHWEST OF SENTINEL.  THIS MAY CAUSE MANY OF THE NORMALLY DRY
WASHES IN THIS AREA TO FLOOD.

MOTORISTS TRAVELLING ALONG INTERSTATE 8 AND OTHER ROADWAYS IN THE
VICININTY OF THESE STORMS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR REDUCED VISIBILITIES
AND POSSIBLE PONDING OF WATER ALONG THE ROADWAYS.  IN ADDITION...
STRONG WINDS AND BLOWING DUST FROM THESE STORMS COULD REDUCE
VISIBILITIES CONSIDERABLY.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO...OR LOCAL RADIO AND TV STATIONS FOR
LATER STATEMENTS OR POSSIBLE WARNINGS.
