NWS Forecast Office Phoenix, AZ

Look for warming temperatures and dry, relatively quiet conditions through at least the first half of the coming work week. A weather system is then expected to move off the Pacific and over/near the forecast area during the latter half of the week. Plenty of uncertainty remains with the extent of rain chances, potential rainfall totals, and the potential for thunderstorms (particularly Thursday afternoon). However, rain chances late Wednesday into Thursday are currently low, between 10-20% for portions of the South-Central AZ lower deserts and up to around 30% for higher terrain areas north and east of the Greater Phoenix Area. Stay tuned as details become more clear over the next few days.
