What the National Weather Service wrote

Several small mudslides occurred along Highway 191.

The wider storm

Deep upper level trough over Nevada on the 10th moved over southeast Arizona through the 12th. The system was able to tap into moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Olivia which resulted in large amounts of rain and flooding. Early morning on the 11th, deep convection (with -65 to -70C cloud tops) developed. Isolated thunderstorms exploded across southeast Arizona. The low level center of Olivia passed through Cochise county between 09Z and 12Z on the 12th which ended the heavy rain.
