Rain moves into Phoenix area Friday with another storm possible Tuesday

A line of showers moved into Phoenix’s West Valley on Friday afternoon, with thunderstorms still possible farther south, the National Weather Service said.

Most of the metro area should get an hour or two of rain, a tenth to a quarter of an inch, said Ted Whittock, a meteorologist with the weather service in Phoenix.

Lightning and small hail are possible in Pima County and southern Pinal County.

Gauges along State Route 85 north of Gila Bend recorded up to seven-tenths of an inch.

Gusts of 20 to 25 mph could kick up dust.

Saturday will be cool with light showers possible in the foothills east of Phoenix. Sunday should be mostly sunny, with highs in the mid- to upper 70s.

Another system could bring rain Tuesday.

“We’re not completely out of this active weather pattern yet,” Whittock said.
