Another round of scattered showers & thunderstorms is expected to develop over the Northern AZ high terrain and portions of Southeastern AZ early this afternoon. Winds aloft shift out of the northwest, increasing odds for thunderstorms to move off the high terrain and possibly develop over the South-Central AZ lower deserts later in the afternoon or early this evening. There is a 50-70% chance for 35+ mph wind gusts near any storms that develop, and a severe storm or two cannot be ruled out, especially if they develop during the middle of the afternoon (less severity expected if closer to or after sunset).
High temperatures running 4 to 8 degrees above normal will be common through the middle of this week with temperatures peaking around Tue-Wed, resulting in widespread moderate to locally major HeatRisk. Temperatures will cool closer to normal by late week. Chances for showers and thunderstorms will continue early this week, with greatest coverage expected across the lower deserts on Monday.
Afternoon high temperatures are likely to reach a 5 to 10 degree above normal through the middle of next week, which could result in some local areas of major HeatRisk. Never underestimate the heat, and plan your weekend accordingly! Remember to drink plenty of water and take breaks in air conditioning.
