National Weather Service forecasts indicate a moderate risk of excessive rainfall today across southern and central Arizona, the Sacramento Mountains of New Mexico, southern Utah, and southwestern Colorado, driven by persistent monsoon moisture advection and strong mid-level winds interacting with terrain. High-resolution models show robust signals for 2–3 inches or more locally, with 60–90% probabilities for the 2-inch threshold in these areas, raising flash flood concerns. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are also possible across parts of the central and northern Plains, Midwest, and Ohio Valley, though with lower totals generally under 1 inch. The Weather Prediction Center's Day 1 and Day 2 outlooks highlight these regions as the primary focus, consistent with ongoing atmospheric patterns favoring upslope flow and moisture transport. Updated model guidance and local NWS briefings through the evening will refine timing and intensity for market resolution.
