...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive and long duration
  rainfall.

* WHERE...Portions of north central and northeastern Arizona,
  including areas from Flagstaff to St. John`s and areas northward.

* WHEN...Through late tonight.

* IMPACTS...Flooding will be possible over burn areas, low-water
  crossings, creeks, streams, washes and swimming holes. Some larger
  creeks and rivers are expected to exceed bankfull. Flooding of
  paved roads and highway underpasses will be possible. Unpaved roads
  could become muddy and impassable.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Low pressure will interact with tropical moisture to produce
    numerous showers and embedded thunderstorms, with heavy rain that
    will fall over saturated soils and burn scars. This could lead to
    flash flooding and rises on streams and rivers.
  - Additional information is available at weather.gov/flagstaff.
