PHOENIX — Get ready, Arizona, our weather forecast is about to take a big turn for the rest of the week and into our weekend.
Because of the potential for life-threatening weather ABC 15 will have Weather Action Days for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Now is the time to prepare you and your family for the weather that is moving in over the next few days.
Moisture from the remnants of Priscilla will push in from the south, boosting humidity and cloud cover through this evening.
Then, a Pacific storm system drops in from the northwest. The two will work together to bring several days of rain.
Our best chances for widespread, heavy rainfall arrive Thursday through the weekend, with Friday and Saturday looking most active.
Isolated thunderstorms are also possible, capable of producing strong winds, lightning, small hail, and brief downpours.
Rainfall totals will vary quite a bit statewide, with some areas may only see a quarter to half an inch, while others could pick up one to two inches, with pockets closer to three inches of rain.
A Flood Watch has been issued of western, northern, central and eastern Arizona Thursday morning through Saturday evening.
That makes flash flooding a big concern statewide. Expect dry washes and creeks to flow, and watch for water collecting in low-lying areas.
On the flip side, this wet pattern will bring a nice cooldown.
Highs drop into the 80s by the weekend, roughly five degrees below normal for this time of year.
Stay with ABC15 for updates as we track these big changes.
