A weather disturbance will move into Arizona later this week through the upcoming weekend bringing an increase in rain and thunderstorms and a greater threat for flash flooding. We have issued a Flash Flood Watch for a good portion of northern Arizona beginning Thursday and lasting through Saturday.

Key Points:

•  Widespread rain and thunderstorms Thursday through Saturday.
•  Elevated threat of flash flooding, especially over recently burned areas. Creeks and   streams will see a quicker response due to recent rainfall.
•  Potential for nighttime flooding with overnight storm activity.
