Description
What
Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
Where
A portion of south central Arizona, including the following areas, Phoenix Metro, rural areas of Maricopa County, and Northwest Pinal County.
When
From Saturday evening through late Sunday night.
Impacts
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Low-water crossings may be flooded.
Additional details
- A second, followup weather system will bring even better atmospheric moisture over the region Saturday night through Sunday and lead to a prolonged period of light to moderate rainfall across the Watch area, with embedded convection producing pockets of heavier rain. Additional rainfall amounts on the order of 1-2" will fall over several hours or longer on top of already moist soil, leading to additional runoff. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
