The National Weather Service issued a Flood Advisory for Maricopa County in south central Arizona and East Central Yuma County in southwestern Arizona, effective July 15 at 7:47 PM MST and expiring at 10:45 PM MST. Heavy rain from thunderstorms has already dropped 1 to 2.5 inches across the region, with Doppler radar indicating arroyo and small stream flooding.
Additional rainfall of 0.5 to 1 inch is expected, which will result in minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. Sentinel is among the locations expected to experience flooding. The National Weather Service advises turning around and avoiding flooded roads; most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Exercise extra caution at night when flood dangers are harder to recognize.
