A surge of tropical moisture arrives today with peak impacts tomorrow and Saturday.

Widespread showers and storms are expected with periods of moderate to heavy rainfall rates.

Excessive rainfall may result in flooding of slot canyons, normally dry washes, slickrock areas, recent burn scars, urban areas, and other low-lying areas. Rockslides and mudslides are possible along the highway corridors in the mountains.
