Crews respond to water rescues as storms move through Phoenix area
SCOTTSDALE, AZ (AZFamily) — Storms packing heavy rain flooded roads in parts of Maricopa County on Wednesday, sparking water rescues and road closures.
Scottsdale Fire Capt. Dave Folio said the monsoon storms dropped up to nearly 3 inches of rain in the northern parts of the city.
Other road closures in north Phoenix include Cloud Road at 19th and 24th streets.
Just after 2 p.m., three drivers were stranded in about 2 feet of standing water on the Loop 101 on-ramp at Princess Drive in Scottsdale. Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers used four-wheel-drive vehicles to push those vehicles out of the water by 2:40 p.m. No one was hurt.
WHAT TO EXPECT: Flood Watch on Wednesday for heavy rain and flash flooding
PHOENIX — A surge of monsoon moisture is moving back in and a storm system out west will help provide the instability needed to bring heavy downpours to Arizona over the next couple of days.
Wednesday is an ABC15 Weather Action Day with a Flood Watch in effect through 11 p.m. across the entire Phoenix metro area as well as most of the state.
Any storms that move through will be capable of producing heavy rain and flooding with rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour, so stay weather-aware and do not drive through flooded roadways or washes.
We could also see storms that bring damaging winds over 60 mph, dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning, hail and blowing dust.
