The KFOX14 Severe Weather Team has issued a Weather Warn for Tuesday and Wednesday as a surge of monsoon moisture brings the strongest rain chances of the season so far.
A Flood Watch will be in effect from noon Tuesday through 7 p.m. Wednesday as repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms could produce heavy rainfall across the Borderland.
The main concern will be flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas, arroyos, normally dry washes and locations that see repeated downpours. Gusty winds and frequent lightning will also be possible with storms.
Now is a good time to prepare: clear nearby drains, secure loose outdoor objects and avoid driving through flooded roadways. Remember, Turn Around, Don’t Drown.
Be sure to have multiple ways to receive weather alerts, secure loose outdoor items that could be blown around by gusty winds, and be prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
The KFOX14 Severe Weather Team will continue to monitor the forecast and provide updates as confidence in the timing and location of the heaviest rainfall increases.
