PHOENIX — It won’t be a white Christmas in the Valley, but it will probably be a wet one this year.
The National Weather Service is predicting rain in the Phoenix area for most of the upcoming week, including on Christmas Eve and Christmas day.
The most likely day for showers is Christmas Eve. NWS says there is a 90% chance of precipitation on Tuesday, and that rainfall totals could reach a half an inch.
Valley natives will then likely wake up Wednesday on Christmas with more wet weather.
