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.
