Maricopa officials say some homeowners were using sandbags to keep water from seeping into their homes after more than 1½ inches fell overnight.
Footage from TV news helicopters Wednesday afternoon showed some flooded roads and intersections in Maricopa.
The National Weather Service says rainfall overnight ranged from a quarter of an inch in eastern cities to a half-inch in Phoenix to as much as two inches of rain in southwest cities like Buckeye.
The weather service issued a flash flood watch for Coconino and Yavapai counties through Wednesday night.
