Why all the wild weather in Arizona?










Why all the wild weather in Arizona?: "From hail and tornado warnings in Flagstaff to dust and extreme heat here in the Valley, this summer has brought us some truly wild weather in Arizona.

"You're right, this is unusual," said Ken Waters with the National Weather Service.

Meteorologists have tracked six dust storms this monsoon season.

Waters attributes that unusually high number to the drought in central Arizona getting increasingly worse.

"That creates a mechanism where it's easier to pick up the dust when you get winds blowing," said Waters."
