An unseasonably moist air mass brought heavy rain to Arizona on July 24, 2017. Numerous Flash Flood Warnings were issued, including one for the Apache Junction area, where some of the heaviest rain fell. Streets were inundated with flood water, and some had to be closed due to flowing water and deposited debris.
In addition, normally dry washes began flowing rapidly across the area, filling up runoffs, drainage ditches, and flood prone areas. Some businesses tried to place sandbags to temper the effects of the flooding, and an ATV was stuck in the mud and was extracted thanks to passerby
