PHOENIX — The rain will linger into Sunday morning, as well. Hazards with this system will be periods of heavy downpours, strong gusty winds and lightning.
Flood Watches are in effect from 8 a.m. Saturday until 8 a.m. on Sunday across the Valley, out east near Globe, and for parts of western Arizona.
With all of this rain and the chance of flooding, Saturday will be an ABC15 Weather Action Day. Take action to keep yourself safe and adjust any outdoor plans you may have.
Also, do not attempt to drive through any flooded roadways or you may get stuck and put yourself in danger.
Up north, parts of the high country could pick up more than an inch of rain with this storm and a slight chance for spotty showers will linger into Monday.
Temperatures will plummet across Arizona, dropping Valley highs into the upper 70s to low 80s by Sunday.
Overnight lows will drop, too. Temperatures across the Valley will fall into the 60s by Sunday morning and stay there each morning next week.
Daytime highs will rebound into the upper 80s on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and there's a slight chance we could see a few more showers and thunderstorms toward the end of next week.
Stay tuned for details as we get closer.
