Flagstaff, AZ – Arizona’s monsoon season is coming to a close, with the final storms expected this weekend. A decaying tropical system near Baja California, combined with a low-pressure system, is bringing moisture from the Gulf of California. This final surge is expected to cause scattered showers and thunderstorms across Arizona.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Flagstaff, storms are possible tonight and on Sunday, with rainfall ranging between 0.50 and 1 inch in areas like Mogollon Rim and southeast Yavapai. Primary hazards include lightning, gusty winds, localized flooding, and small hail.
The monsoon, which runs from June to September, has brought much-needed moisture to the region. As this season ends, Arizona will transition into its winter weather pattern. Residents are reminded to stay updated on storm conditions and possible flash flood warnings. The NWS encourages caution, particularly in areas prone to flooding.
The final storms mark the end of another cherished monsoon season. Arizona looks forward to welcoming the monsoon back next year.
