A powerful Pacific low pressure system moving slowly east across Arizona interacted with deep moisture to produce widespread moderate to heavy rain across south-central Arizona during the morning hours on November 29th. Aided by frontal lift, isolated thunderstorms developed which helped enhance rain totals. The heavy rain resulted in episodes of flash flooding over higher terrain areas northeast of Phoenix during the morning hours and also resulted in area washes and creeks running heavily. Ton
