Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected across southern and central AZ through this evening. The main focus for showers and storms will be over the higher terrain with lower chances over the lower deserts. Some storms may produce gusty winds and brief heavy rainfall late this afternoon/early evening.
Temperatures will stay in a normal to slightly above normal range through the weekend, peaking on Saturday. As a weather system brings more clouds and likely additional rain chances early next week, temperatures may briefly fall to below normal.
