Episode narrativeepisode_narrativeA strong Pacific upper level low pressure system moved into Arizona during the morning hours on October 13th and triggered the development of widespread moderate to heavy showers across the south-central deserts. The heavy rain resulted in numerous episodes of flash flooding during the day. Southerly flow ahead of the low advected in some tropical moisture being shed from Tropical Storm Sergio which recently passed by to the south of Arizona, and this infusion of tropical moisture helped to support the very heavy rain that occurred. Many of the flash flood events took place across the entire greater Phoenix metropolitan area but some events took place as far south as Casa Grande and as far southwest as Gila Bend. Most of the flash flood events resulted in road closures due to the heavy rain and flooding. No reports of accidents or injuries were received. Multiple Flash Flood Warnings were issued during the days due to the flooding.
