US south-west braces for more storms after enduring days of rain and flooding

The US south-west is preparing for another wave of severe weather on Sunday, following days of relentless rain and flooding that triggered evacuations, water rescues, and extensive property damage across the region.

Flood Watch Issued for the Four Corners

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch covering much of the Four Corners area—the intersection of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. This comes after heavy rains began picking up momentum on Wednesday, swelling local rivers and causing widespread disruption.

While local officials noted that some swollen waterways have begun to recede, the incoming showers and thunderstorms threaten to renew flooding risks in communities still recovering from last week's downpours. Emergency services remain on alert as the region braces for the latest round of inclement weather.
