A Flood Watch has been issued for southern Arizona, including Tucson, from 11 PM Tuesday to 11 PM Wednesday (Source time: not specified).
The region is expected to experience daily chances of showers and thunderstorms throughout the week.

Impact & Risks

The primary risk is localized flash flooding due to heavy rainfall, particularly in areas prone to flooding. Hourly rainfall rates of 1–2 inches could overwhelm drainage systems and cause rapid water accumulation. Residents in low-lying areas and near washes should remain vigilant. The risk of flash flooding is heightened during peak storm activity, which is expected to occur between Tuesday night and Wednesday evening.
