A Flood Watch is in effect for southeastern Arizona, including portions of Pinal County, as storm chances across the state climb through midweek, with heavy rainfall and localized flash flooding the primary concern, Arizona's Family meteorologist April Warnecke reported Monday.
The Phoenix Valley faces a 20 to 30 percent storm chance Monday under partly sunny skies, with a high of 102 degrees and dew points in the 60s keeping humidity elevated. Storm chances increase Tuesday and Wednesday across the Valley and statewide. While strong winds are possible with any storms that develop, forecasters identify heavy rainfall and flash flooding as the bigger threat during that window.
Afternoon temperatures through Thursday are expected to stay near or just below average, hovering between the upper 90s and the low 100s. A warming trend takes hold over the weekend, pushing Valley highs back to approximately 104 degrees.
The Flood Watch and elevated storm chances have drawn coverage from multiple outlets. KVOA StormTracker 4 declared an Alert Day for Monday due to potential flooding, and Yahoo News reported a flash flood warning issued specifically for Pinal County.
Dry and quiet weather is forecast to return Friday and hold through the following weekend.
