Description

What

Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

Where

All of northern Arizona, including Apache, Navajo, Coconino, Yavapai and northern Gila counties.

When

From late tonight through late Wednesday night.

Impacts

Flash flooding will be possible in creeks, normally dry washes, swimming holes, and over recently burned areas.

Additional details

- Increasing moisture will combine with a shortwave feature moving north across Arizona to bring multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms from late Tuesday night through Wednesday night. Thunderstorms will have the potential to produce heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding, especially in areas that receive repeated rounds of rainfall. - Additional information is available at weather.gov/flagstaff.

Have a way to receive Flash Flood Warnings and be prepared to take action should warnings be issued.
