...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY MORNING THROUGH LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Areas along and west of the central mountain chain
including the west slopes of the Sangre de Cristo`s, the

* WHEN...From Monday morning through late Tuesday night.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A near-record to record surge of monsoonal moisture combined with
two merging storm systems will bring a prolonged multi- day
period of showers and thunderstorms producing moderate to heavy
rainfall. Combined with already rain soaked ground conditions,
there is a high risk of flash flooding.
- Low-lying, poorly drained areas, urban areas and arroyo systems
will be most susceptible. Near rivers and streams will see rises,
potentially reaching flood stage. Recent burn scars including the
Ruidoso area burn scars, Frijoles, Sacaton, Hummingbird, and
Whiskey burn scars.

...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY
EVENING...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive and long duration rainfall.
* WHERE...All of northern and central Arizona.
* WHEN...From Sunday evening through Tuesday evening.
* IMPACTS...Flooding will be possible over burn areas, low-water
crossings, creeks, streams, washes and swimming holes. Larger
creeks and rivers may exceed bankfull. Flooding of paved roads and
highway underpasses will be possible. Unpaved roads could become
muddy and impassable.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Low pressure will interact with tropical moisture from the
eastern Pacific. This could potentially produce numerous showers
and embedded thunderstorms, with heavy rain that will fall over
saturated soils and burn scars. This could lead to localized
flash flooding and rises on local rivers, such as the Little
Colorado River.
- Additional information is available at weather.gov/flagstaff.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
