Arizona weather forecast: Low temperatures in the forecast with rain arriving this weekend
PHOENIX - Forecasters with the National Weather Service say people in the Phoenix area could see some wet weather this weekend.
In their forecast, officials with NWS' Phoenix office are forecasting a high of 79°F on Saturday, with some clouds throughout the day.
Our next system arrived on Saturday. The storm built up over the Pacific Northwest, then slid down the California coast into Arizona on Saturday.
By Sunday morning, the system will fully arrive in Arizona with a cold front. This storm will bring the potential for rain, mountain snow, gusty winds, and cooler temperatures. For now, it appears the storm will track over northern Arizona – which gives the best chance for rain/snow to areas north and east of the Valley into the higher elevations.
Chances for rain, according to NWS, are 71% in Show Low, showing how widespread this storm could impact our state.
"Forecasted rainfall totals are 0.0-0.1" for the lower deserts of south-central AZ, 0.05-0.2" for the foothills, and 0.2-0.5" for the higher terrain to the north and east of Phoenix," a portion of the forecast reads.
Forecasters also say dry conditions are expected to return on Monday.
