PHOENIX - The remnants of Hurricane Priscilla from over the Eastern Pacific, in combination with other ingredients, are making for a wet week and weekend across parts of the Southwest , with some communities eclipsing more than 2 inches of rainfall by the time the event is over.

Moisture from the former Category 2 hurricane began streaming into the region Tuesday, with even a few severe storms Wednesday.

Forecast models show coverage and intensity increasing through the weekend, which will lead to a heightened flash flood threat at least through Tuesday.

The foothill and mountain areas north and east of Phoenix appear to be in the greatest target zone, with the terrain helping to enhance rainfall rates.
