Phoenicians should keep their umbrellas at hand as the city prepares to soak up some showers in the coming days. According to the National Weather Service, there's a notable chance of precipitation with the sky above Phoenix expected to drench the desert landscape with rain, starting mainly after 2:00 p.m. today. The calm morning could give way to showers, pushing temperatures to hover near a mild 64°F.
Residents can expect to suddenly see the drizzles turning into showers by tonight, with the chance of precipitation skyrocketing to a full 100 percent. "Showers, mainly after 8 pm," reports the National Weather Service, predicting as much as three-quarters of an inch of new rainfall. The East wind is to softly blow at around 5 mph, ensuring the rain's presence through the nocturnal hours, with a low temperature settling around 54°F.
The damp weather appears set to linger, with Tuesday bringing a continuation of the downpour. "Showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 8 am," says the National Weather Service. The day's high will approach 61°F with accumulated rainfall potentially hitting half an inch as locals shuffle through their day under the threat of thunder.
Turning the corner into Wednesday, skies are to gradually clear. A shift in the wind, now hailing from the west-southwest at an easy 5 mph pace, promises partly sunny conditions with the thermostat inching up near 63°F. However, the weather whims look set to tease again with a 20 percent chance of showers by Thursday. But for those yearning for more typical Phoenix conditions, "Sunny, with a high near 70," forecasts FOX 10 Phoenix for the upcoming Saturday.
As the chance of showers wanes by the week's end, Phoenix residents could finally enjoy the warmth, with the temperature at a comfortable 71°F by Sunday.
