Phoenix, AZ – Arizona residents are being advised to prepare for another round of potentially severe weather on Sunday, as the National Weather Service (NWS) in Flagstaff has issued a warning for widespread thunderstorms that could lead to localized flash flooding. While many storms are expected to be of the “garden variety,” NWS cautions that a few stronger systems could develop later in the day, particularly in the Phoenix area.
According to the NWS, thunderstorms are likely to increase in coverage as the day progresses, peaking in the late afternoon and evening. The greatest risks include heavy downpours and flash flooding in isolated areas, especially in low-lying regions and near washes. Residents are urged to stay updated on weather alerts and be prepared for sudden changes in conditions.
In addition to flash flooding, strong winds and lightning are possible, posing hazards to outdoor activities. The NWS recommends that people avoid driving through flooded roadways and seek shelter if severe weather approaches. Sunday’s storms follow a period of intense weather in Arizona, making it crucial for residents to remain vigilant as the weekend comes to a close.
