Storms Expected Across Arizona, Southwest

Parts of Arizona could see light showers and isolated thunderstorms Friday and Saturday as weather systems move through the state, with the best chances and heaviest totals in northern and eastern areas and higher elevations. Phoenix-area rainfall is expected to be minimal, while some higher-elevation locations could receive around a half-inch to an inch. Temperatures are forecast to fall from the 80s into the 70s over the weekend, with another, cooler system potentially bringing rain to Arizona from Monday night into early Wednesday. Tucson is also forecast to have chances for showers and thunderstorms Friday and again Tuesday, with highs dropping into the lower 70s during the unsettled periods.
