Across the region, a weak disturbance is bringing moisture from the south, with Tucson also facing a 30 per cent chance of rain tonight and tomorrow. Most of Southeast Arizona will see 20 to 40 per cent chances of rain during this period. Temperatures are running slightly below normal, with highs in the low to mid-80s expected through early next week.
Rain chances will persist and intensify mid-week, with Wednesday and Thursday bringing the best opportunities for showers and thunderstorms across both Phoenix and Tucson.
