Tucson, AZ – Southeast Arizona is preparing for multiple rounds of thunderstorms overnight by Monday morning. Showers are expected to begin this afternoon, but the National Weather Service predicts the most intense storm activity will occur tonight and continue into Monday afternoon.
According to the National Weather Service, areas most at risk for flooding include washes, low-lying streets, and urban areas with poor drainage. Residents in flood-prone zones are urged to prepare evacuation plans and avoid traveling on flooded roadways. Officials stress the importance of the “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” rule when encountering water-covered streets. Flash flood warnings may be issued as storms intensify overnight.
Local emergency services are on standby to respond to flood-related incidents, and sandbag stations have been set up throughout the region. The National Weather Service also cautions about lightning and gusty winds, which could further complicate travel and outdoor activities. Residents are encouraged to monitor local news stations and weather alerts for updates throughout the night.
Travel should be minimized during peak storm hours, and those in vulnerable areas should remain indoors and stay informed as weather conditions develop.
