Flooding forces evacuations and road closures

10:28 PM Mountain Standard Time on Monday, January 28, 2008

By The Associated Press

PHOENIX -- Storms brought rainfall throughout Arizona on Sunday, with more than 2 inches of the wet stuff falling in some parts.

Meteorologist Mike Bruce with the National Weather Service says Phoenix, Prescott, Show Low and Flagstaff got the most rain.

He says the Weather Service has received many reports of normally dry washes running in northeastern Maricopa County and across much of Gila County. Flash flood watches are in effect for parts of those areas.

Bruce says the rain should continue overnight and turn into snow in Flagstaff, the White Mountains in eastern Arizona and along the

Mogollon Rim.

He says Flagstaff could see 4 to 8 inches of snow overnight and another 3 to 4 inches Monday.
