On average, Phoenix sees its last 100-degree day in early October, but there are some years the triple-digit heat hangs on until just days before Halloween.
Overnight lows will remain unseasonably warm too, only cooling into the upper 70s to low 80s each day.
We’re also tracking Hurricane Rachel in the eastern Pacific. Moisture from Rachel will combine with an incoming storm system to bring rain chances back to Arizona as early as Saturday evening. The best chances for rain will be Sunday and Monday.
A few thunderstorms are possible Saturday night and Sunday. Windy conditions are also likely Sunday afternoon, with gusts near 40 mph.
Parts of the Valley could pick up around half an inch of rain by Tuesday.
It will also bring much cooler weather. Valley highs drop from the mid 90s Saturday to the 80s Sunday and Monday.
Highs could fall into the upper 70s by Tuesday as rain chances continue here in the Valley.
At this point, it looks like we’ll start to dry back out in the Valley on Wednesday afternoon.
