Rain and Storms Expected in Arizona Amid Pacific Hurricanes
US · Published Sep 23, 2026
An active weather pattern is developing in Arizona as rain chances increase and temperatures slightly drop due to tropical moisture from Pacific hurricanes Polo and Odalys.
Scattered storms are expected across northern, eastern, and southeastern Arizona, with a 20% to 30% chance of storms in Phoenix by Wednesday evening.

Impact & Risks

The storms could lead to gusty winds, blowing dust, heavy rain, and lightning, potentially causing disruptions in services such as water, power, and gas. Flash flooding is a significant risk, especially in washes and low-lying areas. Residents are advised to be cautious of rising waters and avoid driving through flooded areas. The Glendale Fire Department has emphasized the importance of being prepared for sudden and severe weather changes during the monsoon season. Additionally, the interaction of hurricane moisture with local weather systems could lead to stronger thunderstorms and increased rainfall early next week.
