Rain, strong winds, and potential flooding are headed for the Phoenix area, with high temperatures expected to fall to the low-to-mid 90s by Wednesday, FOX 10 meteorologist Krystal Ortiz reported Tuesday.
The National Weather Service Phoenix office describes Wednesday as the highest-impact day, with chances for widespread thunderstorms following rounds of isolated to scattered showers and storms Tuesday night and a 20-to-40 percent storm chance Tuesday morning.
Maricopa County's weather outlook attributes the pattern to high pressure sitting well to the east across the southeastern United States, with troughing along the Pacific Northwest driving a general west/southwesterly flow through the next several days.
Residents and property owners should monitor NWS alerts for flash-flood watches as storm timing and intensity are refined through Wednesday.
