On Sunday, there is a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms after 11 a.m. The high for the day is expected to be near 95 degrees, the NWS said. Next week’s rain will serve as a preview for the upcoming monsoon, which is a little over a month away.Since May is Tucson’s driest month, the NWS said any precipitation this time of year is helpful for mitigating wildland fires and dry fuels.
