Storms and Blowing Dust Surge: What to Expect This Tuesday

We will have higher storm coverage on Tuesday and Wednesday before our chances start dropping off again later in the week.

PHOENIX — Excessive heat conditions will continue through Tuesday across the Lower Colorado River Valley and southeast California.

Storm coverage will be enhanced on Tuesday. Storms will originate across the high country and move toward the Valley later in the day. Strong winds and blowing dust are a good possibility across the lower deserts by the late afternoon/early evening.

Rain chances should persist over portions of the area on Wednesday before retreating to mainly over higher terrain areas late week as conditions begin to dry out. As a result of the enhanced storm and dust threat in the Valley on Tuesday, we will have a Weather Impact Alert day beginning at 3 p.m. and lasting into the evening.

Temperatures should be closer to seasonal norms during the middle of the week before heating back up into next weekend.
