Tuesday morning looks to bring our best chance for widespread and heavy rainfall in the Valley, right in time for the morning commute.

Parts of the Valley could pick up a half inch to an inch of rain. Some areas in northern and eastern Arizona could get two to three inches.

Flood Watches are in effect for most of the state through this evening. Never drive through flooded roads or washes.

With heavy downpours possible, washes and small creeks could start flowing quickly, and some low-lying spots may see flash flooding.

Drier air moves in Wednesday, the last official day of monsoon season, and highs climb from the 80s to the mid-90s by Sunday.
