There's a flood watch in effect from Thursday evening through Friday morning for parts of southeast Arizona, including the Tucson metro area and Catalina and Rincon mountains.
Weather officials say heavy rain could reach the mountains as early as Thursday afternoon, with as much as 3 to 4 inches of rain. The rain will get heavier tonight and could result in flooding in the creeks and washes, especially in Sabino Creek. Also watch out for wind.
Anyone traveling to or living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared and monitor forecasts.
Rain chances increase through today, with the heaviest rainfall occurring tonight. Mountains will experience the brunt of this weather event, causing creeks and streams to run, possibly heavy at times. Winds also become breezy this evening. #azwx pic.twitter.com/8HNAOdZvC2
