PHOENIX — Showers and thunderstorms are firing up again across parts of Arizona today.
The best chances for storms will be across eastern and southeastern Arizona today and tomorrow, but there is a slight chance of isolated storms in the Valley.
Any storms that develop could produce powerful winds, blowing dust, dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning, heavy downpours, and flooding (especially near wildfire burn scars).
Over the weekend, a storm system moving through the Pacific Northwest will pull drier air into Arizona and drop temperatures a few degrees.
Phoenix will fall to around 105 or 106 degrees on Saturday and Sunday, which is near normal for this time of year.
There is no end in sight to this sizzling stretch of triple digits, though. Phoenix is in the middle of the longest stretch of triple-digit days ever recorded. As of today, we've had 89 triple-digit days in a row. The previous record was 76 consecutive triple-digit days set in August of 1993.
Next week looks a bit hotter with Valley temperatures around 108 degrees on Monday and Tuesday. Overnight lows will drop into the low to mid 80s, providing a bit more relief from the heat each morning.
After a dry day on Sunday, monsoon moisture will flow back in on Monday bringing storm chances back to the Valley.
Most of the monsoon action will be across eastern Arizona next week, but there is at least a slight chance of a few spotty storms in the Valley each day.
