Impact & Risks

Flooding poses risks to low-lying areas and farmlands near the Gila River, particularly downstream from Painted Rock Lake to Dateland. Residents in these areas should remain vigilant as controlled water releases continue. The Salt River area between Granite Reef and Tempe Town Lake is also affected by residual flooding, which could disrupt local activities. Additionally, upcoming storm systems may bring scattered showers and thunderstorms, increasing the potential for localized flooding in southern and central Arizona.
