The radar

The archived warnings, watches and discussions in force at that minute are drawn over the scan, this one among them.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Phoenix, AZ (KPSR), launched 00:00Z, 7.0 hours before the alert went out and 109 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Aug 7, 10:15 PM MST, 1 hour 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE PHOENIX AZ 1015 PM MST THU AUG 7 2008 SOUTH-CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST ARIZONA...AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA FORECAST DISCUSSION && .SYNOPSIS... CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE TONIGHT FOR SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MOST OF SOUTHERN ARIZONA AND SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA. SOME OF THE STORMS WILL PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL. AFTER TONIGHT...A MORE STANDARD MONSOON FORECAST IS IN STORE WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AFTERNOON AND EVENING THUNDERSTORMS...MOSTLY OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN. VERY LITTLE CHANGE IS EXPECTED IN MOISTURE LEVELS OR TEMPERATURES THE NEXT FIVE TO SEVEN DAYS. && .DISCUSSION... ACTIVE EVENING ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA. TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WAS GENERATED BETWEEN TWO COLLIDING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES WITHIN THE PHOENIX AREA. SEVERAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AND FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS WERE ISSUED. A COMPREHENSIVE LSR WILL BE ISSUED WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR OR TWO...SUMMARIZING THE EVENT. SEVERE THREAT HAS ENDED ACROSS THE AREA. HOWEVER...LIGHT TO MODERATE RAIN PERSISTS ACROSS MUCH OF MARICOPA COUNTY BUT WILL DISSIPATE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WILL BE UPDATING THE FORECAST SHORTLY. PREVIOUS DISCUSSION... WOULD EXPECT TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING TO BE RATHER DOWNGRADED CONVECTIVELY FOR MOST OF THE PHX CWA DUE TO RATHER WIDESPREAD LOW LEVEL COOLING AND STABLIZATION. SLIGHT CHANCE POPS SHOULD COVER THINGS NICELY...BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY. AFTER SATURDAY...WE SHOULD BE BACK TO A MORE NORMAL MONSOON PATTERN...AS UPPER RIDGE AXIS WAVERS N AND S ACROSS THE REGION. WILL LIKELY SEE A HIGH-LEVEL DAY OR TWO IN THE EXTENDED SOMEWHERE...BUT TIMING IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE THIS FAR OUT. WILL THEREFORE KEEP EXTENDED RATHER BROAD-BRUSHED FOR NOW WITH GENERALLY SLIGHT CHANCE POPS. && .AVIATION... PHOENIX AREA... ENVIRONMENT REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP THE EARLY THIS EVENING. ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS IN EXCESS OF 50 MPH AND SMALL HAIL. WITH MORE OF A SELY STEERING FLOW...IT APPEARS THAT ACTIVITY WILL GRADUALLY PROPAGATE NORTHWARD UP I-10...FIRST AFFECTING KIWA FOLLOWED BY KPHX. HOWEVER...PROBS STILL REMAIN TOO LOW AT THIS POINT TO INCLUDE IN THE TAFS. SW AZ/SE CA...THUNDERSTORMS HAVE GENERALLY PUSHED EAST OF KYUM AND KIPL. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY IS NOT EXPECTED THIS EVENING. AVIATION DISCUSSION NOT UPDATED FOR AMENDED TAFS. && .FIRE WEATHER... SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...PREVIOUSLY IT APPEARED THAT TRANSIENT WEATHER DISTURBANCES WOULD KEEP THE THREAT OF STORMS GOING FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...MAINLY OVER SOUTH-CENTRAL ARIZONA. NOW MODELS ARE INDICATING A TREND TOWARD MORE STABLE CONDITIONS WITH HIGH PRESSURE CENTERED OVER OR VERY NEAR OUR FORECAST AREA. UNTIL MORE CONSISTENT MODEL TRENDS COME ALONG WILL KEEP MODEST MONSOON FORECAST GOING WITH NEAR NORMAL TEMPERATURES...AFTER SLIGHTLY COOLER WEEKEND. && .PSR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AZ...NONE.
