Event narrative

A USGS stream gauge on the East Verde River (EVDA3) reported over a 2 foot rise in 90 minutes. That's an increase in flow from 12 to 630 cfs.

Remnant moisture from two tropical cyclones, Priscilla and Raymond moved into the state of Arizona. Two west coast troughs interacted with this remnant moisture and provided ample lift and shear for heavy rain and severe thunderstorms. The rain led to creek and stream level rises and some flash flooding.
