Morning storms are fairly isolated, but check out the heavy rain they bring down! There is a lot of lightning and loud thunder too.
Indoors is the place to be until the storms subside.
The storm in Scottsdale is now under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning until 7:15 a.m#abc15wx #azwx pic.twitter.com/gmbkQW9vUl– Iris Hermosillo (@IrisABC15) September 13, 2023
