PHOENIX — Valley residents certainly felt the humidity as they woke up Friday morning. Monsoon storms made their way across the Phoenix-metro area late Thursday, starting with a dust storm that enveloped the city.
The large cloud of dust even made its way to Mountain America Stadium for ASU's football opener, causing low visibility and a moderate delay. After the dust, rain soon followed. Several areas received measurable rainfall.
As residents clean up from the dust and rain, the National Weather Service said more storms are still possible Friday.
