Over the elevated plateau south of Flagstaff, numerous thunderstorms formed mostly separate from each other, but within about an hour’s span. This was one, dropping a well-defined downburst into the low mountains east of Prescott. Within another hour, their growth and collective outflow had covered most of central and north-central Arizona’s high country with cool, wet air, and surface temperatures in the low 50s to upper 60s F, in stark contrast to the 107–110 temperatures I left behind less than an hour south of here in the hazy, desert concrete slab of Phoenix.
