Flood potential continues in northern Arizona

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) — The general monsoon sample hasn’t modified a lot prior to now 24 hours, which suggests the Valley will once more be within the “slight” probability for storms class. Many of the storms might be in northern and southeast Arizona. And once more, in a single day, there might be an opportunity some outflows converge close to Phoenix and create extra thunderstorms. However as we all know, not each collision of outflows leads to storms, particularly when the ambiance across the Valley is as secure because it’s been the previous 48 hours.

We nonetheless have a flood look ahead to northern Arizona till 9 p.m. tonight. We’re retaining an in depth eye on the assorted burn scars across the state as that’s the place fast and intense flash flooding can develop in a short time. That and saturated floor can also be making the potential flood state of affairs worse. This afternoon produced the primary flash flood warning of the day in Mohave County north of Kingman.

Whereas we predict the variety of storms will uptick as we head towards the weekend, we’re nonetheless not seeing any robust monsoon “indicators.” The forecast appears a bit unfulfilling as we feature that probability for thunderstorms into subsequent week, however we are able to’t decide an honest “window” that’s higher than every other time for rain. We’d be shocked if we don’t get some storms within the Valley both Saturday or Sunday or in a single day Saturday into Sunday morning.
