Pima County explains that these occurrences are common after an area has been scorched, and the rushing water "causes large amounts of burned material." 

The black "gooey" stream is a combination of ash, sand, silt, rocks, and trees.

With thunderstorms and showers on the forecast for parts of Arizona, flash floods continue to be a threat as "there is sometimes little to no warning of impending flash floods or debris flows."
