Issued Zones: Yavapail, Maricopa, Pinal, and Pima County
Date Issued: August 22nd, 2025 at 11:30am local
Severe storms in the upper mountains above Payson and throughout Gila County provide a bleak outlook. Prescott will be directly affected by the undercarriage. Phoenix and Pina will be the next… Please take care of your horses and other animals this evening. I came back!
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is issued by the Arizona Weather Force when severe thunderstorms are possible and cover more than half of the watch zone, with destructive winds of more than 50 mph and enormous hail in the heavier storms. Severe Thunderstorm Watches at Arizona Weather Force are private, issued ahead of time to the public by AZWF since lead time is critical to you.
