Flash Flood Watch for portions of Central Arizona from the Mogollon and White Mountains south into Yavapai and Northern Gila Counties. Affected areas include: Yavapai County mountains; Western Mogollon Rim; Eastern Mogollon Rim; White Mountains; Northern Gila County; Yavapai County Valleys and Basins; Oak Creek and Sycamore Canyons; and includes the cities of Prescott, Seligman, Ash Fork, Flagstaff, Williams, Munds Park, Heber, Happy Jack, Forest Lakes, Show Low, Greer, Pinetop, Payson, Strawberry, Young, Cottonwood, Camp Verde, Cordes Junction, Bagdad and Sedona.

Abundant monsoon moisture will result in scattered to widespread thunderstorm development today. When combined with saturated soils from recent and frequent heavy rainfall events this will enhance the threat of flash flooding over the area.

A Flash Flood Watch means that developing conditions may lead to Flash Flooding within the watch area. People especially those located along area creeks, rivers or other flash flood prone areas should continue to monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take immediate action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

**Remember do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Watch for high water, rocks and debri on roadways!**
