The Arizona Weather Department has issued a thunderstorm watch that covers most of Arizona, including all metro zones from Phoenix, Pinal County to the Tucson area, effective today through tonight, read more…

The upper cyclone center on the southern side of the region is blocked by a northern ridge. The storm will again hit the highlands (Mogollon Rim) region first. A high-level cyclone is destabilizing the atmosphere in Sonora, Mexico, and storms are expected even south of the border. These storms south of the border will push into Arizona and push the runoff boundary through Santa Cruz, Cochise, and Pima counties, including the Tucson metropolitan area.

Activity across the highlands and Mogollon Rim will be a separate air mass and will be associated with a high pressure ridge to the west. This will eventually push the storm south toward the populated areas of Pinal/Maricopa County, as opposed to storms coming from Arizona. Given the direction of the storm and the spill impact from the south, the most affected areas will be those not typically hit by storms, such as Phoenix, Glendale, Surprise, Avondale, and the Buckeye Forecast Area. If you’re there, you can definitely see these storms move in tonight, and some areas around Phoenix or North Phoenix could see 1/2 inch to an inch of rain in that short period of time. it will rain

Friday: Looking into this day, it is the day when the high pressure ridge finally moves. Activity will still continue, but the focus will shift to the north-south current emanating from Nevada. The Bullhead City forecast area will be the target of storm activity that has missed much this time around.
