Live Updates as Hurricane Priscilla brings heavy rain to the state - AZ Republic

Widespread rain expected as Hurricane Priscilla storms Arizona
Arizona Republic

Grab an umbrella — tropical moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla pushes into Arizona, bringing several days of showers and cooler temperatures.

Storm chances will peak Friday, Oct. 10, into Saturday, Oct. 11, with widespread rain expected across the state. The Phoenix area could see rainfall totals above 2 inches during the next few days, while southeastern and northern Arizona could pick up several inches.

Forecasters warn of ponding water and minor flooding on roads and in washes.

Below is the link to a tremendously helpful radar map that displays the rainfall forecast. (I'm literally in the dead center of the greenest green patch).

So far we have dodged the worst, with the heaviest storm cells flowing north-east about twenty miles west of our location, but that's not good news at all for folks in Yavapai County. I hope everybody stays safe. The worst is anticipated tonight through late Saturday night, with Sunday not looking much better. Might be a good idea to stay off the roads if at all possible.

Currently basically the entire state is under a Flood Watch, and there is one very large Flood Advisory for central Gila County, and a Flash Flood Warning for West Clear Creek in Coconino County:

At 454 PM MST, Doppler radar indicated rain and thunderstorms
across the warned area. Between 0.5 and 2.00 inches of rain have
fallen in the past few hours. This, combined with widespread
rainfall last night, will lead to flash flooding. A stream gage on
West Clear Creek continues to show water levels rising, and they
are expected to increase further this evening. Flash flooding is
ongoing or expected to begin shortly.

During intense periods of rain circumstances change rapidly. There may be severe thunderstorms (although none have appeared so far, according to the NWS). Creeks, rivers and burn scars are hazardous places to be during strong, steady rain like this. If you have to drive in this weather please exercise caution. Don't attempt to drive through flooded streets. "Turn around, don't drown." (Sorry, I know you all know the drill, but it never hurts to repeat it, right?)

If anyone impacted loses power, don't forget about NOAA WX radio. They are doing an outstanding job of keeping listeners apprised.
