Storm could bring rain to AZ this week

PHOENIX — It’s a cool and breezy start to the week in the Valley!

Valley highs will be in the low 80s today, putting us a few degrees below normal for this time of year.

Afternoon breezes are picking up, too. Gusts up to 25 mph are possible across the Valley and into the high country.

Tuesday and Wednesday will be a bit warmer with highs in the upper 80s across the Phoenix metro area.

We are also tracking a storm system moving in later this week, bringing rain chances to parts of central and southern Arizona.

Here in the Valley, we could see a few spotty showers Thursday and Friday with less than a tenth of an inch of rain likely.

Parts of southern Arizona could pick up around a quarter of an inch of rain.

The heat returns next weekend as our forecast dries out and Valley temperatures soar into the 90s.
