An unseasonably strong area of low pressure moved east and into Arizona during the day on April 29; during the morning hours showers developed across the lower deserts and by early afternoon, stronger convective cells formed over portions of the greater Phoenix area. A line of showers and isolated thunderstorms moved through the Phoenix area during the afternoon and a few of the stronger convective cells/storms produced gusty winds in excess of 40 mph. The winds may not have reached severe levels but were sufficient to cause tree damage in the community of Sun Lakes at about 1450MST. Additionally, a gust over 40 mph blew a beehive out of a tree in Tempe; the falling beehive landed on a woman's head and caused her to be stung over 30 times. She was taken to a local hospital but survived the numerous stings.
