NWS Forecast Office Phoenix, AZ

A low pressure system meandering to the southwest of the region through the weekend will bring modest chances for showers, mainly from this evening through Sunday. Light rainfall amounts of less than two tenths of an inch can be expected.

An amplified low pressure system off the CA coast by the middle of next week is expected to pull in above normal moisture into the Desert Southwest. This will result in heightened rain chances, especially Wednesday and Thursday. The highest rain chances are expected across south-central AZ. Temperatures are forecast to fall to 5-10 degrees below normal by the latter portion of the week. There continues to be uncertainties in the rainfall totals and exact timing of the best rain chances along with severe weather potential. Stay tuned!

Below normal temperatures will prevail throughout this weekend before warming up early next week closer to normal.
