FORECAST: Lingering showers expected

PHOENIX — June is off to an active and record-breaking start, with widespread showers and thunderstorms drenching much of the state!

Some areas in the West Valley picked up more than an inch of rain overnight. A slow-moving low-pressure system is driving this wet and unseasonably cool start to June, drawing in deep moisture to fuel rounds of moderate to heavy rainfall.

While the most widespread rain will shift north and east later today, the pattern stays active through the middle of the week.

Scattered showers and thunderstorms are possible Tuesday and Wednesday, especially across the higher terrain north and east of the Valley. Tuesday could bring downpours , and while most rain will be beneficial, isolated runoff issues are possible in areas like washes, creeks, and slot canyons.

Another upper-level low is expected to move through the region Wednesday, with storm chances favoring areas along and north of I-40. These storms are not expected to be severe, but localized flooding remains a concern.

Today will be the coolest day of the week, with highs running 10 to 15 degrees below average. Temperatures will slowly climb back to near-normal through midweek, with a more noticeable warm-up arriving by the weekend.

A ridge of high pressure will build over the Southwest, pushing highs into the upper 90s and low 100s.

Moderate HeatRisk returns for the weekend, so take precautions if you plan to be outside.
