Hurricane to deliver flooding rain in the southwest
Updated 16 Sep 2014 @ 14:22
Tropical moisture from the approaching Hurricane Odile will deliver another round of heavy rain and flooding downpours to the interior Southwest by the middle of this week.
Odile will weaken significantly before reaching the Southwest, likely not even being a tropical storm when reaching the region.
The moisture associated with the system will still be enough though to spread showers and flooding thunderstorms across the interior Southwest from Wednesday through Friday.
Cities that could be impacted by the heavy, flooding thunderstorms include Phoenix, Flagstaff, Tucson and Yuma, Arizona; Las Vegas; and eventually Salt Lake City.
Flash flooding should be anticipated. Additionally, mudslides; washouts; and dust storms may also occur in areas affected by the worst of the storms.
Delays are likely on major roads and airports.
A few showers and thunderstorms may even make their way into coastal areas of Southern California, including Los Angeles and San Diego, but the worst of the flooding is expected to stay over the desert areas.
