Flood Watch issued July 21 at 12:14AM MST until July 21 at 10:00PM MST by NWS Tucson AZ
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Portions of Southeast Arizona including Graham, Greenlee, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties. * WHEN...The Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through 10 PM MST this evening. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, dry washes, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The combination of ample moisture and an upper-level disturbance passing across portions of Southeast Arizona from the east today will result in widespread showers and thunderstorms...especially south and east of Tucson. These storms will be capable of producing heavy rainfall, with localized rainfall amounts between 1 and 3 inches. Given how saturated soils are across the area from storms over the past week, there is an increased potential that rainfall runoff to produce flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About
Bog Springs Campground provides a scenic escape into the Santa Rita Mountains of southern Arizona. Many visitors unfamiliar with Arizona will be surprised by the diverse landscapes here: high grasslands climbing the mountain slopes, thick oak woodlands at mid-elevations, and conifer forests covering the peaks. The campground serves as a trailhead for both the Dutch John Trail and Bog Springs Trail, offering excellent hiking opportunities. The campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis. Sites include picnic tables and vault toilets. Potable water is normally available from a hand pump, though it is currently temporarily unavailable. Quiet hours run from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Firewood is not sold on-site, so campers should bring their own firewood, charcoal, or a camp stove.
