Phoenix Weather: Possible Storms Ahead Amid Record Heat
Phoenix Weather Forecast: Triple-Digit Days Persist
Phoenix is currently experiencing the longest stretch of triple-digit days ever recorded, with 86 consecutive days as of Tuesday. The previous record was 76 days in August 1993.
Storm Chances Incoming
As the heat bakes the Valley, the only silver lining is the potential for monsoon storms that are forecasted to arrive over the next 48 hours.
- Showers and thunderstorms are possible starting overnight into Wednesday.
- Increased storm chances expected Wednesday night and Thursday night.
- Storms could bring strong winds, blowing dust, and dangerous lightning.
With forecast temperatures dropping closer to seasonal averages, Phoenix is expected to top out around 106 or 107 degrees Wednesday through Friday, with overnight lows in the mid-80s.
End of the Stormy Spell?
Heading into the weekend, a system from the Pacific Northwest may clear out monsoon chances and send temperatures climbing back up near 110 degrees by next week. Stay weather-aware and prepared for rapidly changing conditions!
