“Not only are there a lot of storms, but they are producing torrential downpours,” the National Weather Service office in Las Vegas said on Twitter.
More than one inch of rain fell in just 15 minutes Sunday near Kingman, Arizona, the weather service said.
There was no estimate for reopening of roads around Death Valley, California transportation officials said.
About 100 miles to the south, motorists were urged to avoid California’s Mojave National Preserve after flash floods buckled pavement on several roads.
