The National Weather Service issued a Flood Warning for Maricopa County at 7:34 PM MST on September 16, effective until 8:45 PM MST. Water levels along Indian Bend Wash have risen above alarm stage due to earlier thunderstorms, and flooding is already occurring in the warned area.
Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring. Residents in Paradise Valley and Downtown Scottsdale should expect impacts. The NWS advises turning around and not driving through flooded roads; most flood deaths occur in vehicles attempting to cross flooded areas.
