Details:
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...Portions of Southeast Arizona including Graham, Greenlee,
Cochise and Santa Cruz counties.
* WHEN...Through Tuesday evening. The greatest risk is Monday
afternoon and evening and again Tuesday afternoon and evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, dry washes, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- The combination of ample moisture across southeast Arizona and an
upper-level disturbance moving into the area from New Mexico
today will result in widespread showers and thunderstorms...
especially south and east of Tucson. These storms will be capable
of producing heavy rainfall, with localized rainfall amounts
between 1 and 3 inches. Given how saturated soils are across the
area from storms over the past week, there is an increased
potential for rainfall runoff to produce flash flooding.

DEW POINT
Dew point is the temperature to which air must be cooled for saturation (100% relative humidity) to occur. The dew point is an important measurement used to predict the formation of dew, frost, and fog. If dew point and temperature are close together in the late afternoon when the air begins to turn colder, fog is likely during the night. Dew point is also a good indicator of the air's actual water vapor content, unlike relative humidity, which takes the air's temperature into account. High dew point indicates high vapor content; low dew point indicates low vapor content. In addition a high dew point indicates a better chance of rain and severe thunderstorms. You can even use dew point to predict the minimum overnight temperature. Provided no fronts or other weather pattern changes are expected overnight, the afternoon's dew point gives you an idea of what minimum temperature to expect overnight.
