Flash flooding has already occurred in Utah and Nevada, and additional flooding is expected in the Great Plains and Midwest, including the Corn Belt. In Mexico, heavy rains may lead to mudslides in steep terrain, and dangerous surf conditions have restricted beach access in Baja California Sur. Communities in affected areas should prepare for potential evacuations and infrastructure disruptions.
