MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Rivers stay high as dry weather settles in

PHOENIX — Flood Warnings remain in effect for some rivers and creeks across Arizona as runoff continues, this includes the Verde, Salt and Gila Rivers through the greater Phoenix area.

Flooding along the Salt River could last through Saturday as SRP continues releasing water from dams upstream.

So, stay out of our local rivers and do not attempt to cross any flooded roadways.

Our forecast will stay mostly sunny and dry with Valley highs in the upper 70s through Thursday.

Then, high pressure will return and send temperatures into the low 80s by this weekend.
