Monsoon surge causes widespread flooding in Southwest
A final monsoon surge has triggered significant flooding across the Southwest, particularly affecting Arizona and parts of Nevada. Heavy thunderstorms delivered between 1 to 3 inches of rain, leading to dangerous flash flooding conditions in and around Phoenix and other vulnerable areas. The intensity of the rainfall prompted the National Weather Service to issue flood watches, flash flood warnings, and severe thunderstorm alerts, urging residents to take immediate precautions.
