Showers and thunderstorms will continue to produce locally heavy rainfall across portions of the southwestern U.S. into Wednesday.
"The storm system over the southwestern U.S. is pulling moisture from more humid areas and into the region, resulting in a significant increase in activity," AccuWeather Meteorologist Evan Duffey said.
"Showers and thunderstorms across the area will be scattered but some could produce rainfall rates of 1 inch or more per hour," he said.
While these thunderstorms will be spotty in nature, any thunderstorm can lead to flash flooding.
This storm system will move slowly to the east through the week. This could lead to rounds of thunderstorms hitting the same areas for multiple days.
"Flash flooding is always a concern in desert areas and isolated severe wind gusts are also a possibility," Duffey said.
The shower and thunderstorm activity will not just be confined to the Four Corners states. Showers and a few thunderstorms will also target Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana into Tuesday.
Dry weather will prevail over much of California this week. This storm system, however, may produce a spotty shower, mainly across the southeastern portion of the state.
