MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: ABC15 Weather Action Day as storms impact the Valley

Posted
and last updated

PHOENIX — It’s an ABC15 Weather Action Day as scattered thunderstorms across the Valley create hazardous conditions. Expect slick roads, gusty winds, lightning, and pockets of small hail.

Storm chances increase again tonight and into early Tuesday as a slow-moving system spins over central Arizona. Tuesday will also be an ABC15 Weather Action Day, with morning showers and thunderstorms likely to impact the morning commute.

As the low shifts east Tuesday, the focus for rain moves to the high country and southeastern Arizona. Lingering showers remain possible through Tuesday night.

Then, another disturbance could bring more rain to parts of central and southern Arizona late Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

If you’re heading north, watch for snow above 6,500 feet through Tuesday. The highest elevations could pick up 4–8 inches, and even light accumulation on I-17 or I-40 could make travel slick.

Temperatures stay well below normal through Tuesday before a quick warm-up begins midweek. Highs rebound into the 80s Wednesday, push into the 90s Thursday, and soar back to the 100s by Friday as high pressure returns.
