A Flash Flood Watch remains in effect for northern Arizona through midnight tonight. Heavy rainfall from incoming thunderstorms could lead to sudden and dangerous flash flooding across the area.

Key Safety Reminders:

Avoid High-Risk Areas: Stay away from creeks, slot canyons, recent burn scars, and low-water crossings.

Stay Alert: Ensure you have multiple ways to receive Flash Flood Warnings (weather radio, emergency alerts on your phone) and be ready to act immediately if a warning is issued.

Turn Around, Don't Drown: NEVER attempt to drive through flooded roads. It takes as little as 12 inches of moving water to carry away a small vehicle.

Stay weather-aware today and monitor local updates for changing conditions! ⛈️🌧️
