Arizona faces a heightened flash flood risk as widespread showers and thunderstorms are set to impact the region over the next two days. The National Weather Service (NWS) in Flagstaff warns that northern Arizona, particularly Coconino, Gila, and Yavapai counties, will experience localized flash flooding.
Today, much of northern Arizona falls under a slight risk for flash floods, with at least a 15% chance of flooding throughout the day and into the night. Residents in these areas should stay alert and take necessary precautions to protect themselves and their property.
On Thursday, the risk shifts slightly but remains significant. Northern Arizona, especially regions along and north of the Mogollon Rim, will likely see flash flooding in the afternoon and evening hours. The monsoon season has saturated the ground, making these areas particularly vulnerable to flooding.
The NWS continues to monitor the situation closely and urges residents to remain vigilant. Stay informed by following local weather reports and avoid travel in flood-prone areas if possible. For further updates and safety information, visit weather.gov/flagstaff.
