โš ๏ธ FLOOD WATCH | NORTHERN GILA COUNTY

Monday, October 12, 2026

The National Weather Service has extended the Flood Watch for Northern Gila County through this afternoon, ending at 5:00 PM MST.

๐Ÿ“ Gila County communities include:
Payson โ€ข Strawberry โ€ข Young and surrounding areas

๐ŸŒง๏ธ WHAT TO EXPECT

Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms may continue to produce periods of heavy rainfall. Tropical moisture associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel, combined with already saturated ground, increases the potential for flash flooding.

โš ๏ธ POTENTIAL IMPACTS

โ€ข Rapidly rising water in creeks, rivers, and normally dry washes
โ€ข Flooded roads and low-water crossings
โ€ข Dangerous currents in narrow canyons and swimming holes
โ€ข Increased flooding risks near recent burn scars
โ€ข Prolonged runoff and elevated streamflows

๐Ÿšจ SAFETY REMINDERS

โ€ข Turn Around, Donโ€™t Drown. Never drive through flooded roadways.
โ€ข Avoid washes, creeks, streams, and low-water crossings.
โ€ข Stay out of narrow canyons and flood-prone recreation areas.
โ€ข Be alert for rapidly changing conditions, even when rain is not falling directly overhead.
โ€ข Have multiple ways to receive emergency alerts and be prepared to take action if a Flash Flood Warning is issued.

๐Ÿ“ฒ STAY INFORMED

Monitor updates from the National Weather Service at weather.gov/flagstaff.

๐Ÿ“ข Announcement - Save the Date!

10/09/2026

The remnants of Tropical Cyclone Rachel will combine with a low pressure system to produce wind gusts of 35-55 mph across the region on Sunday. A Wind Advisory has been issued for portions of southeast California, southwest Arizona, and south-central Arizona from Sunday morning through the afternoon.

These strong winds will make for difficult driving conditions, especially for high profile vehicles, and could cause some areas of blowing dust/sand leading to reduced visibilities. Make sure to secure or store any outdoor items that could blow away.
