Higley Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A strong cold front associated with a powerful Pacific low pressure system pushed east across the lower deserts to the southeast of central Phoenix during the early morning hours on November 29th. Earlier in the morning as the front moved through central Phoenix it generated multiple episodes of wind damage as well as high wind reports. It then continued to produce damage to the southeast of Phoenix, affecting communities such as Higley and Queen Creek. According to a trained spotter located |about 2 miles southwest of Higley, gusty winds estimated to be as high as 60 mph blew down a number of trees and broke 12 inch diameter branches off of trees. The tree damage occurred just 300 feet to the east of the trained spotter's apartment which was near the intersection of Chandler Boulevard and Val Vista Drive. At about the same time and a few miles to the southeast, there was a public report of wind damage 3 miles to the southwest of Queen Creek. The report indicated significant damage to shingles on an asphalt roof rated to be in good condition. Most of the shingles were loosened and many were ripped away. There was also tree damage nearby. The damage was just northeast of the intersection of the Hunt Highway and Power Road. No injuries were reported due to the high winds.

A powerful Pacific upper low and associated cold front moved east across the central deserts during the early morning hours on November 29th. Due to elevated levels of both wind shear and instability, the cold front was able to produce several weak tornadoes in the Phoenix area including two to the southeast of central Phoenix. According to a NWS storm survey, one of the tornadoes tracked to the northeast along the Loop 202, about 2 miles southwest of Higley. The tornado was short lived with a width near 100 yards, and was rated as an EF0. The tornado did produce a bit of damage; small trees were damaged in 2 shopping center parking lots and there were multiple spotter reports of additional damage, mostly trees that were downed.
