Flood — Mohave, AZ

Jan 16, 2023

Two waves of rain and snow affected the region, the first as Pacific low pressure directed an atmospheric river inland, and the second as the low pressure itself passed by. This resulted in locally heavy mountain snow and numerous road closures due to flooding in the lower elevations.
