The National Weather Service issued a Flood Advisory for Maricopa County on August 13 at 4:40 PM MST, effective until 7:45 PM MST. Doppler radar indicated heavy rain from thunderstorms, with between 1 and 1.5 inches of rain already fallen. Additional rainfall up to 0.25 inches is expected, which will result in minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
Gila Bend and Gila Bend Auxiliary Field are among locations expected to experience flooding. Residents should avoid driving on flooded roads; most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Report observed flooding to local emergency services or law enforcement so the information can be passed to the National Weather Service.
