PHONEIX – A monsoon and dust storm blew through the Valley on Thursday, causing power outages, flight delays and dropping almost an inch of rain in parts of Phoenix.

The Federal Aviation Administration issued a ground stop due to thunderstorms that are affecting flights and delays and are estimated to be around 30 to 45 minutes.

The National Weather Service issued a thunderstorm warning for the Phoenix area until 5:30 p.m.

Nearly an inch of rain fell near Osborn Road and 64th Street in an hour of the storm.

Power outages have affected over 9,000 people, according to SRP. Most of the outages were restored by Friday morning.
