Phoenix, AZ – The National Weather Service predicts that the Phoenix area will experience a round of isolated showers and thunderstorms this afternoon and evening.
The low-pressure system moving across the Desert Southwest will increase the chances of precipitation, especially in higher terrain to the north and east of the city.
According to the National Weather Service, rain is most likely to fall in elevated areas with a low chance of accumulation (less than 0.05 inch).
Showers are expected to be scattered, with thunderstorms possible but localized.
While rain and thunderstorms are not expected to cause major disruptions, isolated thunderstorms may produce gusty winds, small hail, and wet roads.
Drivers are encouraged to exercise caution, particularly on higher elevation roads that may become slick.
The weather is expected to clear later this evening, with conditions improving overnight. Residents should continue to monitor local weather updates throughout the day.
