PHOENIX — Some parts of the Valley have seen measurable rain with this latest storm system, which has led to flooding in some spots, water rescues and delayed flights.
Rain started falling late Monday night and continued off and on throughout Tuesday and Wednesday. Rain is expected to continue throughout the morning.
Most of Tuesday morning's rain fell in the West Valley, even leading to flooding on roadways. Maricopa County Sheriff's Office said one vehicle became stuck in Tonopah, but bystanders helped the occupant out of the water and to safety.
Multiple other water rescues occurred throughout the day on Tuesday.
MCSO also shut down some roads in the far West Valley due to flooding. Those roadways include: Salome Hwy & 339th Avenue, Wintersburg Road & Indian School Road, and 214th Avenue & Narramore Road.
The weather also led to delays at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on Tuesday morning.
The Federal Aviation Administration had issued a ground delay at the airport, and then another one on Wednesday.
More than 100 flights were delayed as of 9 a.m., according to Sky Harbor, but that number had dropped down to about 60 by 7:30 p.m.
