PHOENIX — Early morning rain splashed down on parts of metro Phoenix on Thursday, some of it hard enough to put a flood warning into effect.
The East Valley was expected to catch a deluge. The flood warning put into place for Queen Creek and other southeast Valley areas was set to last until 10:30 a.m.
