heavy, heavy flow of water. and you can hear the current hitting against that -- we've seen tree branches and a lot of debris. and we're expecting the winds to pick up later this morning. they have not been too bad just yet. but fire stations are handing out sandbags to make sure that everybody is prepared for the intense weather to come in the next few hours. back to you. and as iris was telling me there's a flood warning for that area. and iris is going to pinpoint what's happening right here in the valley as you prepare to leave for work or sending the kids to school at 6:16. keeping an eye on the radar too. the white house now admitting it transferred $1.7 billion in foreign cash to iran following the release of four american prisoners, including arizona native -- we're

the main impacts with the storm because of the track through southeast arizona will be along this area of southeast arizona from tucson to nogales and stafford. the valley as i mentioned seeing the outer bands. so we have the potential for scattered showers and thunderstorms here through the day although the flooding rain and the strongest winds will be in areas to the southeast. and we do have the wind advisories from tucson to the southeast because that's where the storm system is going to move in. we talk about the flooding in nogales. and that flood warning in effect for the wash north of nogales as we're seeing flooding in the area. and we have flash flood watches posted for the entire southeastern pocket of the state. but i want to show you a change. yesterday we were under the flash flood watch in the phoenix metro. and because of the eastern track of the system and because it's going to mainly bypass us, the flood alerts are no longer

under a flash flood watch. the higher terrain to the east, payson, globe, and areas to the southeast, areas like florence, maricopa, still have the risk of flash flooding today. important to stay alert and especially if you're traveling southeast and east of the valley today. maybe delay your travel plans. if you can, postpone until tomorrow as the storm system will be a big impact through day today. it brings the heaviest the southeast. and we get a chance for scattered showers through the morning. showers and thunderstorms possible through the afternoon. and even into tonight before the system clears out to the east. and by tomorrow with the lingering moisture, just a slight chance of storms before we begin to clear things out. the 30% chance for storms, most spots in the valley will end up under a quarter of an inch of rain today. and in southeast arizona we'll see more of that widespread

of 2 inches of rain in some spots. temperature-wise, only up to 90 degrees today. but it's a muggy, muggy day. i'll break down the hour-by- hour planner in just a few minutes. desert drive times brought to you by centurylink prism. we're seeing the wet roads in the valley on loop 101 or portions of the 101. this is peoria avenue where there's light shine on the roadwa seeing the same conditions. and nothing slowing on that portion of the 101. up in the north part of the valley. we're looking at a 13-minute desert drive time from i-17 to the 51. and the slowing until you hit the 51. and on i-10 and i-17, the delays are similar to what we saw 10 or 15 minutes ago. slow from the 101 all the way to the tunnel.
