Showers and thunderstorms bring flash flood potential
The southwestern United States faces a threat of showers, thunderstorms, and possible flash flooding. This is due to moisture flowing in from the Pacific Ocean combined with upper-level atmospheric energy. The National Weather Service has issued alerts for several regions, highlighting the risk of heavy rainfall that could trigger localized flash floods, especially in urban zones, low-lying areas, and near small streams. Areas recently impacted by wildfires are particularly susceptible to debris flows.
