PHOENIX — After more than two months without rain, our dry streak is over!
Phoenix Sky Harbor picked up 0.09 inches of rain on Thursday and more is on the way.
The Valley will likely see scattered showers with a few embedded thunderstorms overnight into Saturday morning, so you may need to postpone your outdoor plans until later in the day.
Parts of central and southern Arizona, including the Valley, could see another tenth to a quarter of an inch of rain with higher amounts near the mountains.
Temperatures are dropping, too. Valley highs will fall into the mid to upper 70s this weekend.
Breezes will pick up on Sunday as another storm system moves down from Utah and clips by the Four Corners. Gusts will peak near 25 mph in the Valley and 35 mph up north.
We could also see a few more showers on Sunday across Arizona, but our forecast will dry out again on Monday.
Look for mostly sunny skies and highs in the mid to upper 70s through Thanksgiving week in the Valley.
