Flash Flood Watch in Arizona Amid Hurricane Polo Remnants
Arizona is experiencing widespread rain and thunderstorms due to the remnants of Hurricane Polo interacting with a northern low-pressure system. A flash flood watch is in effect until 9 p.m. local time, with heavy rainfall impacting rivers, creeks, urban drainages, and areas affected by recent wildfires. While the Phoenix metro area is expected to dry out by the afternoon, higher elevations and eastern regions, including the Four Corners area, will continue to see significant rainfall. Morning storms have brought heavy lightning and precipitation to areas such as Flagstaff, Sedona, and parts of the West Valley. The storm system is also causing wet conditions for travelers heading toward Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The Phoenix area is forecasted to reach a high of 82°F (28°C) today, with a 60% chance of rain, and clearer skies are expected tomorrow.
