NWS storm reports for Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026 describe flooded roads in Mesa. A delayed report logged at about 4:23 p.m. MST said East McKellips Road at Longmore Road was closed by flooding. Another, logged at about 6:16 p.m., said McKellips Road between Alma School Road and State Route 202 was closed by flooding along the Salt River (NWS local storm reports<\/a>). Both were delayed reports, so the closures may have begun earlier.<\/p>\n

What the record shows, and what it does not<\/h2>\n

These two reports describe roads and a river. They do not say how much rain fell on Mesa roofs. In the NWS warnings and advisories we read for Oct. 30 through Nov. 2, Mesa did not appear in a list of affected locations, so the two storm reports are the only Mesa-specific evidence we found. Treat Nov. 1 as a wet day in the Valley, not as a measured storm over your address.<\/p>\n

Why Oct. 20 still matters<\/h2>\n

Mesa’s more damaging storm came on the night of Tuesday, Oct. 20, 2026, when the Storm Prediction Center logged three hail reports in Mesa and local news reported wind damage near Gilbert and University roads (see Mesa’s Oct. 20 hail reports<\/a>). Wind can lift tile edges, ridge caps and flashing without leaving anything visible from the street. A roof in that condition can look fine until a wet day finds the gap. If you checked your roof after Oct. 20, check it again.<\/p>\n

A second look, from the ground<\/h2>\n
