Overview

• Phoenix Sky Harbor lifted a short ground stop Monday night but logged more than 100 delays as crews addressed roof damage and leaks in passenger areas.
• Power outages peaked widely across trackers, with reports ranging from the mid‑teens of thousands to roughly 60,000 customers, largely in Maricopa County, and utilities worked overnight to restore service.
• The haboob’s dust wall was followed by severe thunderstorms with wind gusts reported near 70 mph that downed trees, darkened intersections and damaged an airport connector bridge.
• The National Weather Service issued dust storm and severe thunderstorm warnings and transportation officials urged drivers to “pull aside, stay alive” as visibility dropped to near zero on I‑10 and flooding affected parts of I‑17.
• Meteorologists said a collapsing thunderstorm outflow generated the towering dust wall, with forecasts calling for additional storm chances into midweek before drier conditions return.
