Salome Road reported closed due to water over roadway. Timing estimated from radar. No damages or injuries were reported.

The wider storm

An upper-level trough moving across the Desert Southwest transported well-above normal moisture across the region with PWATs peaking at between 0.8-1 across southwestern AZ. The combination of the forcing for ascent from the trough and the abundant moisture resulted in waves of showers throughout the day, with some areas in southwest AZ observing rainfall amounts upwards of an inch over a several hour period based on doppler radar estimates.

Began near Salome (33.7429, -113.5698).
