Arizona faces a highly active monsoon period with daily storm chances persisting through this week and into next week. High temperatures will range from 104 to 108 degrees before dropping to 99 degrees by Friday, accompanied by humid conditions and dew points between 55 and 65 degrees.
A very active monsoon period is ahead across Arizona. Around the state, there will be on and off chances for storms each day through this week and right into next week. In, the best chances currently appear to hit Tuesday late day, and Thursday into Friday.
However, each day will bring between a 20% to 40% chance of storms in the Phoenix Metro. On Monday, the forecast high climbs to 106 degrees. Due to morning showers and clouds, stronger storms may struggle to turn widespread.
Still, storms will fire off over the high country and there is at least a low 20% chance for a few showers to make their way down intoThe potential for storms will increase on Tuesday to 30%, particularly late day and into the evening. Any storms that develop will bring the possibility for strong winds, blowing dust, downpours, lightning, and even flooding. A few of the strongest storms could pack small hail as well.
The EPA states that air quality is poor in several parts of Arizona, impacting sensitive groups and prompting warnings for residents to take precautions. Storm chances remain between 20% and 30% on Wednesday, and increase to 30% to 40% Thursday into Friday. Rain chances will dip a bit over the weekend, but may increase again next week.
The general pattern is supportive of daily storm chances as high pressure remains centered over the United States and moisture wraps around the high pressure dome, directly into Arizona from the southeast to south. High temperatures will remain around 104 to 108 degrees during the week, but slip to 99 degrees by Friday. Morning lows may remain in the 80s this week, too.
The weather will be quite muggy all week with dew point temperatures between 55 and 65 degrees each day.
