Dry conditions are favored through most of this week before rain chances make a return to the forecast late in the week into weekend as a fast moving system heads towards the region. This system will bring below normal temperatures by the weekend.
Dry conditions with near normal temperature will continue through at least Thursday. Rain chances and cooler temperatures arrive by Friday across south-central Arizona, followed by another wet period Saturday.
The Climate Prediction Center is highlighting the southwest U.S. in a likely above normal category for precipitation early next week. The weather pattern may become more unsettled as several disturbances progress through the region.
