advance further northeastward into the central Rockies. 
Additional rainfall of up to an inch, locally higher in areas of
mountainous terrain, can be expected through Wednesday morning for
portions of Arizona into the Four Corners region. However, given
heavy rain over the past 2 days across Arizona and anomalous
moisture in place over the Southwest, a Moderate Risk of excessive
rainfall remains over central Arizona with a Slight Risk over the
rest of Arizona into a good portion of Utah and western Colorado.

The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 200 AM PDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
