A wave of monsoonal moisture originating from Mexico is leading to rain showers and thunderstorms across the western United States, particularly in New Mexico and Colorado, where the most significant rainfall is anticipated. AccuWeather predicts rainfall totals between 1 to 2 inches, with some areas experiencing even higher amounts. Arizona and Utah are also at risk for intense rain and flash flooding. In Tucson, Arizona, substantial rainfall on September 14th resulted in multiple emergency rescues. Concurrently, dry thunderstorms in Oregon, Northern California, and Northern Idaho may generate lightning, strong winds, and small hail, heightening the risk of wildfires. This influx of moisture could offer some respite to drought-affected regions, including the Colorado River Basin.
