❌ “It’s just a little water…” ✅ Actually, that “little water” could stall your car — or sweep it away. ➡️ 12 inches of moving water can carry away a small vehicle. And if the road is washed out underneath? You’re in serious danger. #azwx #monsoon2025 #monsoonawarenessweek

Monsoon Flashback!⛈️ (7/30/2021) Monsoon 2021 was a busy season for South-Central AZ. Active ⛈️ were expected this day due to: 1) very moist E/SE flow, 2) an unstable profile and 3) lifting boost from an inverted low pressure trough and remnant mesoscale convective vortex #azwx
