Phoenix is headed into a dry, near-average weekend after a soaking Wednesday storm dropped more than 3 inches of rain on parts of the Valley, Arizona's Family meteorologist Holly Bock reported Thursday. The heavy rainfall was corroborated by 12 News and AZ Central, which reported 2 to 3 inches in some metro areas.
Drier air has moved into Arizona following the storm. Dew points sitting in the 60s Thursday will fall to the 50s by Friday, easing the humidity. Highs in Phoenix will hover near 100 to 101 degrees this weekend under mostly sunny skies, in line with the seasonal average of 100 degrees. Overnight lows will range from the upper 70s to lower 80s.
The dry stretch may not last into next week. Bock noted that a Pacific trough moving through the West Coast could push a slight chance of rain into Arizona by Tuesday night, though she flagged significant uncertainty with that timing.
