Quite a number of areas in the Western United States have received significant precipitation over the last 72 hours. The green, yellow, and red areas in the map above represent locations with more than one-third of an inch, which should impede the ignition or growth of wildfires.
The data in southern Arizona that shows two to four inches explains why rescues like the ones below were occurring in Phoenix.
