00:00A three-pronged flood threat is developing across the southwestern and central United States this week.
00:05Moisture from former Hurricane Otolus is already increasing rainfall across the southwest.
00:11Arizona, New Mexico, southern Utah, and southwestern Colorado are among the areas facing heavy rain.
00:18Moisture left behind by Hurricane Polo will then merge with an incoming storm system from the west.
00:24Together, these weather systems could produce widespread heavy rainfall through Friday.
00:29Two areas could receive between 4 and 8 inches of rain.
00:33Locally higher totals are possible, with an AccuWeather storm max of 18 inches.
00:38Rainfall rates could reach 2 to 3 inches per hour.
00:41That could trigger rapid runoff and dangerous flash flooding.
00:44The risk will spread from the southwest into Texas and the plains.
00:48Severe thunderstorms are also expected Wednesday.
00:51Some storms could produce damaging wind gusts of 50 to 60 miles per hour.
00:55Forecasters say flooding could threaten roads, homes, businesses, crops, streams, and rivers.
01:01The rainfall may also provide some relief from ongoing drought conditions across the region.
