Wickenburg Power Outages Caused by Weather
Events
A powerful Pacific low pressure system moving slowly east across Arizona interacted with deep moisture to produce widespread moderate to heavy rain across western portions of Maricopa County during the morning hours on November 29th. Aided by frontal lift, isolated thunderstorms developed within the bands of rain, locally enhancing rain totals. The heavy rain led to an episode of flash flooding in the community of Wickenburg during the early morning hours. According to the Wickenburg fire and rescue department, flash flooding caused the vulture mine road to become closed at Sols Wash, about 3 miles to the northwest of Wickenburg. The actual time of the flooding was estimated to be 0351MST, based on data from a Maricopa County Flood Control District streamgage; the gage crested at 1.79 feet and travel time of the flood wave was used in estimating the exact time of flash flooding. There were no reports of accidents due to the flash flooding.
Thunderstorms developed across far northern Maricopa county during the evening hours on August 25th, and some of them affected the community of Wickenburg. The stronger storms generated gusty and damaging outflow winds; according to a broadcast media report, wind gusts estimated to be nearly 60 mph downed power lines approximately 2 miles east of Wickenburg.
Late afternoon thunderstorms developed near Wickenburg moving southward over the city with severe winds downing trees, utility power poles and lines.
