Flash flood threat
What's supercharing the monsoon

If you look at the WeatherRadar, you will see a supercharged monsoon with even heavier downpours than usual. So what's behind this surge of moisture?

This surge of tropical moisture will strengthen the ongoing Monsoon, increasing the threat of flooding across the Southwest and into the Four Corners.
