Event narrative

Large hail up to golf ball size occurred in a swath across Tucson from the Catalina Foothills through midtown's Amphi area southwestward to the Tucson Estates area. Hundreds of vehicles sustained hail damage ranging from dented hoods to broken windshields and many homes suffered damage to skylights and roofs.

Wider weather episode

High pressure resided over southern Utah/northern Arizona with weak low pressure over west Texas. This created strong easterly flow over southeast Arizona, which increased to 25-30 kts. Thunderstorms produced large hail, and damaging winds across Santa Cruz and Pima Counties, including Tucson.
