More storms forecast for flood-hit US Southwest

More heavy rain and thunderstorms were forecast for the Four Corners region of the US Southwest after days of flooding. The National Weather Service issued a flood watch for much of the area. Last week's rain forced evacuations and water rescues and caused millions of dollars in damage.

Why it matters

Further flooding threatens homes and roads in desert communities that are not built for heavy rain.

Background

The Four Corners is where Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah meet. Dry ground there can turn heavy rain into flash floods.
