SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PHOENIX AZ
600 PM MST SUN SEP 3 1995

AT 545 PM DOPPLER RADAR SHOWED A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS OVER FAR
SOUTHWEST ARIZONA.  MOST OF THE STORMS WERE ON THE ARIZONA SIDE OF
THE COLORADO RIVER...BETWEEN YUMA AND BLYTHE.  MOVEMENT WAS GENERALLY
TOWARD THE NORTHWEST AROUND 10 MPH.

THE STRONGEST THUNDERSTORM IN THIS CLUSTER WAS ALONG U.S. ROUTE
95...NEAR THE CUTOFF TO MARTINEZ LAKE.

MOTORISTS AND BOATERS WILL NEED TO USE CAUTION FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR
TWO DUE TO HEAVY RAIN...LIGHTNING...AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS WITH THESE
THUNDERSTORMS.  IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA FOR BOATERS...ON MARTINEZ
LAKE AND THE COLORADO RIVER...TO SEEK SHELTER UNTIL THE STORMS MOVE
AWAY FROM THE AREA.  AND MOTORISTS SHOULD WATCH FOR FLOODED ROADWAY
DIPS...AS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ALONG THIS PORTION OF U.S. 95.
