Monsoon brings flood risk to parts of Arizona

Hey, all right, we'll switch gears onto a live camera view from Tempe Town Lake, one of the areas that got a pretty good hit from the storms yesterday. And you can see things are looking calm now. That live camera shot, a few people rolling along the bridge there. But otherwise, it is warm already at 83 degrees and humid, that's for sure. We are expecting that humidity level to pretty much sit right where it is for the next several days straight. I mean, we're talking a while before the humidity levels might slip a little bit. So if you're not a fan of the humidity, I apologize, but it's not going anywhere. Here's your view on Fox Vision. We are dry. We've got clouds that are scattered across the state. Those clouds may thin some as the morning goes on and into early afternoon, but then we will start to see our next round of storms firing off, particularly over the higher elevations. Take a look. This is the futurecast. Pause the clock here at one in the afternoon, some scattered storms in Coconino County, down to the White Mountains, and down into southeastern Arizona, where they will try to kind of exhale and move down into the lower elevations. But notice the model here, just 3-8 o'clock, does not show the kind of hit that it showed yesterday. And I think part of the reason why it's more of a struggle to see much storm action make it in is because we really did zap the battery with how big those storms were yesterday evening. So the atmosphere may not be energized quite enough to sustain some stronger storms. Still, there's at least a chance, 20%, just because the ingredients aren't perfect does not mean it's impossible. But that's why that chance is just at 20% now instead of higher. As we go into tomorrow, we're looking, this is early morning hours, a couple more passing showers are possible near the valley or areas just off to the east. And then we start dry in the morning, but by midday, we're back to it at the higher elevations before again, these storms will try to roll on in. And the model does give these storms a shot at rolling through the valley. So we'll uptick that chance a bit more to around a 30, potentially 40% chance around parts of the valley. Let's talk rain amounts, because as we move forward, our atmosphere is still just gaining moisture momentum, which means we're already very humid and we're collecting more moisture in our air. So the chance for flooding starts to uptick today. There's a low chance of a few isolated flash floods out there by tomorrow. There was a better chance over the high country to start seeing more scattered flash flood concerns. And then by Thursday, it's looking more likely around the state that some scattered flooding will occur. And there may end up being even a flood watch put out by the national weather service as we watch that concern for Thursday into Friday. In fact, this is the seven day outlook for how much rain could accumulate and look at all the areas in red here, all the high elevations, even the valley. Is it like the inch marker? And then we're at two plus for some of the higher elevation. So this doesn't mean that every single person is going to get this, but that in this range, there is quite a good potential for some heavy rain in the days to come. A look at our forecast temperatures. 108 is what we're expecting in the valley today. 94 globe 93 for Sedona and low eighties and Flagstaff with tonight, 56 degrees, 75 for globe and upper eighties in the valley. Here's your look at the 10 day Foxcast. So our chances of storms, like I said, they're not going anywhere, increasing actually 40 down to 40% right through your Thursday and Friday. In fact, actually Thursday night will probably bump it up to 60% over the weekend, a little bit of a drop. Then we're right back to it next week as well, guys with more storm chances and cooler temps.
