Arizona is currently experiencing an active monsoon season characterized by dust storms, lightning, flash floods, and isolated storms across the Phoenix metropolitan area and other parts of the state. Recent weather activity includes gusty winds and multiple outflow boundaries moving through northwestern Maricopa County and the western Phoenix metro area. The monsoon pattern is expected to continue with threats of flash flooding in southern and western Arizona and blowing dust impacts in the south-central lower deserts. Rainfall has returned to Tucson and western Pima County, prompting a Flood Watch and Blowing Dust advisory. Temperatures in Tucson have risen to double digits, accompanied by spotty showers and significant storm chances. The North American Monsoon, which typically runs from mid-June to the end of September, is bringing some of the most dramatic weather of the summer, including heat and flooding risks. Local authorities and weather services have issued warnings and advisories to keep residents prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
