The episode as NWS PSR wrote it up.
A shortwave trough moving across the Desert Southwest combined with well-above normal moisture, with precipitable water values peaking to around 0.8, resulted in multiple rounds of light to moderate rainfall with embedded thunderstorms across south-central AZ from the 21st to 23rd. Rainfall rates during these multiple rounds of rain generally ranged between 0.10-0.50, resulting in storm total amounts of between 0.5-3 across the region during a 72-hour period. The highest rainfall amounts were observed across portions of western Pinal and southwest Maricopa Counties, where there were reports of flooding.
