Rainfall totals reached 0.50 to 1.00 inches or more Friday morning in short bursts of torrential rains. The National Weather Service issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Las Vegas and other parts of southern Nevada, cautioning residents of powerful wind, small hail and heavy rain.
HOW TO WATCH FOX WEATHER
The flooding came hours after Phoenix was rocked by storms that created a wall of dust. Several flights into Sky Harbor International Airport were diverted and a college football game at Arizona State University was delayed due to the wild weather.
The FOX Forecast Center says more showers and thunderstorms are likely through the first half of the weekend.
Millions of residents from four states were placed under Flood Watches due to the threat of additional precipitation from the monsoon.
