PHOENIX — Cool mornings and warm afternoons coming our way for the second week of October.
The storm system that's continued to bring scattered storms across Arizona is slowly moving east. It should begin to lift out of Arizona late Monday and into Tuesday. But right behind it is another cut-off low developing off the coast of Southern California.
We'll see the best chance for scattered storms in eastern Arizona but don't rule out a stray shower or two in the Valley. Storms that develop will be capable of producing strong winds, areas of blowing dust, hail, and heavy rain, so stay weather-aware.
Drying out by midweek, we'll wait to see if the next low-pressure system will bring any showers to the Valley by the end of the week.
Daily highs start in the low 90s this week before we get close to the tiple digits by the end of the week. Good news though morning temperatures will stay cool in the upper 60s to low 70s each day.
