Where
A portion of south central Arizona, including all of Maricopa County, Northern and Western Pinal County, and Southern Gila County.

Impacts
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, normally dry washes, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Additional details
- The combination of abundant moisture, afternoon heating, and a weather system moving into the region will support showers and thunderstorms today through this evening.
