Moisture will deepen across Arizona and New Mexico through the weekend, supporting a more active cycle of afternoon and evening thunderstorms.

The strongest storms will be capable of producing brief heavy rainfall, blowing dust, and wind gusts over 50 mph.

Flash-flood sensitivity

Burn scars, slot canyons, and normally dry washes will be the most sensitive locations. Rain may fall far upstream from where water rises.
