New Mexico, Arizona May See Storms From Tropical Storm Javier

PHOENIX (AP) — Parts of Arizona and New Mexico could be hit with more heavy rain as moisture associated with Tropical Storm Javier moves through the region. The National Weather Service says Tucson and Phoenix could see possible flash flooding just days after the state saw damaging severe weather. Forecasters say storms may remain through Thursday and could affect Arizona, New Mexico and the southern portions of Utah and Colorado. Phoenix will be under a flash-flood watch beginning Tuesday afternoon until about 11 p.m. Wednesday. Mexican authorities evacuated people from low-lying areas around the resort city of Cabo San Lucas as Tropical Storm Javier blew past the tip of Mexico's Baja California Peninsula before weakening to a tropical depression Tuesday.
