     By Wednesday we should all be seeing news reports of serious flooding in 
southern Arizona.  TD 16-E will arrive here Monday night, and it's already 
forecast to deliver as much as 2" of rain here.

     The community of Arizona City sits in the middle of a very shallow playa 
(which is a dry lake bed) along the course of the Rillito, which is the major 
waterway (er... dry streambed) that passes through Tucson.  It receives all of 
the runoff from the southern, western, and northern slopes of the Santa 
Catalina Mountains.  It also receives the flow from the Santa Cruz Rive and the 
runoff from the eastern side of the Tucson Mountains.  Those folks living in 
Arizona City are going to see some very serious flooding.
