Storms are expected to develop in northern areas and spread towards the south to the lower deserts throughout Sunday afternoon and evening,.

"The rushing waters were so loud, you couldn't hear anything else," said Juan Piñeda, a Benson, Arizona resident. Parts of the southwest still recovering from extreme storms in the last few days are once again filling sandbags and bracing for another round. "It's likely going to be one of the bigger events this season," said Rob Howlett, who works at the National Weather Service in Tuscon.

The monsoon rains that flooded large parts of the southwest are slowly heading east into the drought stricken southern plains.

The monsoon is more active this week in Arizona. While the state is under a flood watch until Wednesday morning, there is little flooding thus far.

Meteorologist Bianca Feldkircher said the flood watch is out due to the 'significant amount of moisture in the air right now.'
