| Episode Narrative | A backdoor cold front acted on a warm and moist air mass to produce severe thunderstorms. Wet microbursts and flash flooding were the results. |
| Event Narrative | Local law enforcement reported that Highway 191 between Safford and Interstate 10 had been closed due to flooding. At 7:00 pm, a spotter located in southern portions of Safford reported that he had received just over 3 inches of rainfall and that a majority of surrounding roads were impassable due to street flooding. According to Thatcher Police, a few homes near the Eastern Arizona College had water seep into their garages, one apartment suffered water damage, and the back room of a home on Fourth Avenue had water running into it. Also, a home south of Safford reported flood damage, and the Highway Department closed Safford/Bryce Road from Eighth Ave. to Bryce Eden Road due to flooding and debris. A vehicle also stalled in running water on Quattro Cerros Road near the Artesia area south of Safford. Water was running through the vehicle, but two passengers were able to get out. There were also several other reports of washed out roads and drainage problems. |
