The wider storm

Deep monsoon moisture over northern Arizona and an area of low pressure moving over the area from the east brought more thunderstorms with heavy rain, flooding, and at least one funnel cloud. A mesoscale convective complex formed late in the day and kept thunderstorms going through the night and into the morning of July 25.
