Arizona weather forecast: Warm start to the week, but more rain is on the way
Monday kicked off a warm start to the week in the Valley, but more rain is coming soon!
What To Expect:
Temperatures will be chilly Monday morning, before the warming trend continues, thanks to high pressure in the region. Temperatures will climb back into the 80s in the Valley on Monday afternoon, while the High Country will see the 50s and 60s.
The high on March 10 in Phoenix will be about 84 degrees.
Another storm coming
Temperatures will start to cool on Tuesday with the first storm, but as the week progresses, highs will drop into the 60s in the Valley from Wednesday through Saturday.
An abrupt change arrives Tuesday, as a storm system moves into the state. The day will be dry and even mostly to partly sunny. Winds will become breezy by the afternoon.
Rain showers and light, high-elevation snow showers will begin late afternoon-early evening on Tuesday, continuing overnight through Wednesday.
The heaviest precipitation will fall overnight. Snow totals will remain low, with only around a trace to three inches of accumulation possible above 6,000 feet.
A second, more intense, storm will arrive on Thursday, bringing more scattered rain to the Valley starting during the afternoon, and heavy mountain snow, through Friday morning.
This second storm could bring another 4 inches to a foot of snow to the mountain terrain.
