Details

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Cochise County, Santa Cruz County, Sasabe and Arivaca, and Southeast Pima County.
* WHEN...From 3 PM MST this afternoon through 11 PM this evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Expect another round of strong to severe thunderstorms with widespread heavy rainfall across south central Arizona. One inch per hour rainfall rates will be likely with isolated areas seeing 1-3 inches total. Portions of the Watch area received 1"-2" of rain yesterday, so this combined with heavy rainfall today will lead to excessive runoff and result in flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
