Although the storm is expected dissipate, Ivo will still have an impact on the southwestern United States.

The large-scale weather pattern will help draw Ivo's moisture northward into the Desert Southwest and enhance rainfall across the region late in the weekend into early next week.

Depending on the intensity and duration of the rainfall in any one location, we could see flooding in parts of western/northern Arizona, southeast California, southern Nevada and Utah. The National Weather Service has issued flood watches for portions of these states.
