The National Weather Service issued a Flood Advisory for Maricopa County effective July 13 at 7:17 PM MST and expiring at 10:15 PM MST. Heavy rain from thunderstorms has already dropped 0.5 to 1 inch of rainfall across the area, with an additional 0.25 to 0.5 inches expected. Minor flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly in low-lying and poor drainage areas, with water potentially over roadways and rises in small streams and normally dry arroyos.
Affected locations include Phoenix, Tempe, Paradise Valley, Camelback Mountain, Piestewa Peak Park, Papago Park, Sky Harbor Airport, Downtown Scottsdale, Downtown Phoenix, and Tempe Marketplace. Residents should avoid flooded roadways; most flood deaths occur in vehicles attempting to cross water. Exercise extra caution at night when flood dangers are harder to recognize.
