A new round of monsoon weather is affecting parts of Arizona.
In Northern Arizona, the National Weather Service has issued Flash Flood Warnings and Flash Flood Advisories for various areas.In Flagstaff, attention is being paid to areas lying underneath wildfire burn scars. Those areas were heavily affected by flooding in 2022 as a result of burn scars, and over the weekend, the neighborhoods saw heavy rainstorms.
"If you were to pour a glass of water on [the hydrophobic soil], it would just run off it like you poured it on your kitchen counter," said Lucinda Andreani with the Coconino County Flood Control District., in July 2022. In the past year, county officials and residents have been working together to come up with a solution, and flood ditches have been expanded as a result.
Neighbors said a rainstorm dumped about three inches of rain in a two-hour period over the weekend, but the deeper and wider flood canals worked, which allowed residents to breathe a sigh of relief. Coconino County has secured over $90 million in Federal funding agreements for watershed restoration and flood mitigation efforts. For 2023, they have delivered about $35 million worth of those efforts.APS is reporting that 1,200 customers are without power due to weather in Flagstaff, in an area between Desilva Avenue and Hoskins Avenue, and from Beaver Street to Switzer Canyon Drive.
