...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 11 PM MST /MIDNIGHT MDT/ THIS
EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY EVENING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive and long duration rainfall.

* WHERE...All of northern and central Arizona.

* WHEN...From Sunday evening through Tuesday evening.

* IMPACTS...Flooding will be possible over burn areas, low-water
  crossings, creeks, streams, washes and swimming holes. Larger
  creeks and rivers may 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 from the
    eastern Pacific. This could potentially produce numerous showers
    and embedded thunderstorms, with heavy rain that will fall over
    saturated soils and burn scars. This could lead to localized
    flash flooding and rises on local rivers, such as the Little
    Colorado River.
  - Additional information is available at weather.gov/flagstaff.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
