Flood Watch issued July 19 at 11:13PM MST until July 21 at 12:00AM MST by NWS Tucson AZ
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Portions of Southeast Arizona including Graham, Greenlee, Cochise and Santa Cruz counties. * WHEN...From Noon MST Monday afternoon through Midnight MST Monday night. * IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The combination of ample moisture across Southeast Arizona and an upper-level disturbance moving into the area from New Mexico today will result in widespread showers and thunderstorms... especially east and south 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 for rainfall runoff to produce flash flooding. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

About
Sycamore Campground occupies a scenic setting along West Turkey Creek in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona. At 6,200 ft elevation, the campground straddles a perennial stream that tumbles through a series of small waterfalls and a rocky cleft before passing through camp. Spring and summer bring wildflowers to the creek corridor, and Sycamore Falls is a short walk upstream from camp. The campground offers eight primitive sites on a first-come, first-served basis. Each site has a picnic table, and vault toilets are provided. There is no potable water, so campers must bring their own supply. No hookups are available, and trailers are limited to 16 feet or less due to the narrow mountain road. This is designated black bear country. All food must be stored in bear-proof containers or locked in vehicles with windows fully closed. Pack and saddle stock are prohibited. Sites are limited to 2 vehicles and 10 people, with a 14-day stay limit per 60-day period. Cash or check required for the $15/night fee.
