Snowmelt and floods sweep West and Plains states
Temperatures near 100 degrees trigger snowmelt that floods the Colorado River basin in Arizona and California. Torrential Plains rains wash out bridges and flood large areas, prompting river warnings in Colorado. Evacuations loom as Arkansas River rises and a sewage plant risk grows near Florence. In Pennsylvania, play halted at the U S Open as storms disrupt events. Authorities urge residents to evacuate low areas. Arizona and surrounding counties declare emergencies amid expected rises from Hoover, Parker and Davis dam releases. Officials caution damage could top $1 million.
