Scattered thunderstorms developed over portions of northwest Maricopa County, in the areas around Wickenburg, during the evening hours on August 1st. Locally heavy rainfall caused area washes, including Sols and Tiger Washes, to run heavily. Rapidly rising water in these washes resulted in flash flooding that necessitated the closure of roads that crossed the washes. According to the Arizona Department of Highways, at 2045MST, flash flooding was observed in the Tiger Wash at Eagle Eye Road. A Maricopa County flood control gage reported 6 inches to one foot of water in the rapidly rising wash which resulted in Eagle Eye Road being closed. A Flash Flood Warning was in effect at the time, but for an area to the north of where the flash flooding occurred.

Rapidly rising waters in the Vekol Wash north of Interstate 8 drained northward and into the town of Ak Chin Village, resulting in flash flooding. Additionally the flooding affected communities to the west of state route 347, between Interstate 8 and the town of Maricopa.
