Storm chances increase in Phoenix this week
US · Published Sep 16, 2026
Phoenix is expected to experience an increase in storm activity later this week, following a period of elevated temperatures.
While the weekend is forecasted to remain dry with highs around 104°F (40°C) on both Saturday and Sunday, a cooling trend is anticipated to begin soon after.

Impact & Risks

The anticipated storms could bring localized heavy rainfall and potential flooding, particularly in areas prone to water accumulation. Residents in the Phoenix metro area and East Valley should remain alert for changing weather conditions. While the heat warning has ended, temperatures will still be slightly above normal before the cooling trend sets in. Those in higher terrain areas of eastern Arizona may experience thunderstorms earlier, which could lead to hazardous driving conditions and localized disruptions.
