A United Airlines flight from Houston to Phoenix diverted to Luke Air Force Base in Glendale due to severe thunderstorms and a minimum fuel situation, with 154 passengers and six crew on board. The crew coordinated with air traffic control, and passengers were bused from Luke AFB to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport to complete their journey as the originally planned destination faced a ground stop. United said the diversion to Luke AFB was the safest option amid heavy rain, gusty winds, and hail that disrupted the Phoenix area and left thousands without power. The aircraft was later flown back to Houston without passengers on Tuesday. Concurrent weather disruptions and Sky Harbor ground stop continued to affect travel in the Phoenix metro area.
