An upper low was located over Northern Nevada with 75kt jet across Central Arizona. Low level winds out of the southeast pumped moisture into the area with dew points in the upper 50s and lower 60s. The moisture combined with moderate instability and deep layer wind shear to produce widespread severe thunderstorms and flash flooding.
