\u201cCurrently, we have some light to locally moderate rainfall, quick-moving showers moving across the Phoenix area,\u201d NWS meteorologist Gabriel Lojero told KTAR News 92.3 FM\u00a0on Saturday morning. \u201cHowever, that\u2019s nothing compared to what we saw on Friday, where we saw widespread 1 to 2 inches with locally higher amount in some areas between 2 to 3 inches.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to NWS Phoenix<\/a>, the intense downpours were moving westward toward southeast California and southwest Arizona where flood watches were in effect.<\/p>\n
However, isolated and scattered thunderstorm were still a possibility for southcentral Arizona on Saturday afternoon and early in the evening.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe should have a break later on this morning and into this afternoon,\u201d Lojero said. \u201cAnd according to the latest model guidance, potentially maybe late this afternoon to early evening, there could be some additional pop-up showers and storms. The key word once again is that it\u2019s expected to be isolated. So not everybody is going to see any rainfall and if there\u2019s going to be any activity, it should be pretty brief.\u201d<\/p>\n
How much rainfall did the Valley get during Friday\u2019s storms?<\/p>\n
Thunderstorms battered the Phoenix area<\/a> with rain, hail and flooding on Friday, it even delayed flights.<\/p>\n
According to Maricopa County\u2019s Interactive Rainfall Data Map<\/a>, multiple parts of the Valley received more than an inch of rain from the storms.<\/p>\n
The area around Phoenix Sky Harbor received 2.01 and 1.30 inches of rain, while central Phoenix was hit with a total of 1.26 inches and parts of north Phoenix saw anywhere from 1.06 to 1.89 inches.<\/p>\n
Some East Valley cities were battered with rain, as Tempe got<\/a> 2.44 inches, Scottsdale collected 2.68 inches and Mesa received 1.06 inches. Meanwhile, Chandler saw 0.39 inches, Gilbert was watered with 0.20 inches and Apache Junction was scattered with 0.39 inches.<\/p>\n
The West Valley also saw a good amount of rain, Glendale and Peoria were hit with 0.98 inches, Litchfield Park received 0.94 inches, Goodyear was scattered with 0.35 inches and Buckeye got 0.39 inches.<\/p>\n
What does the forecast for the rest of the weekend look like?<\/p>\n
Heading into Sunday, condition are expected to dry out across the Valley.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter today, we should have a much needed break in terms of seeing any rainfall activity for the next several days,\u201d Lojero said.<\/p>\n
As far as temperature, the Phoenix metro area is expected to remain below normal for the rest of the weekend with highs staying in the 80s and not quite reaching 90 degrees.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen as we head into the early to middle portion of the upcoming week, we should see those temperatures gradually start to warm up once again,\u201d Lojero said. \u201cWe do expect highs reaching up into the middle to upper 90s as we head toward the middle to later half of next week.\u201d<\/p>\n
