That is an improvement, but still puts us about 5 degrees above normal. <\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll see passing clouds at times, but our forecast will stay dry through the weekend and into early next week. <\/p>\n<p>This strong ridge of high pressure could break down late next week as a cut off low tries to slide in. This could bring a rain\/snow chance for Arizona towards the end of the weekend into next weekend. <\/p>\n<p>More Impact Earth stories:<\/p>\n<p><b>2026 Sky Harbor Official Rainfall to date: 0.18&#8243; (-0.30&#8243; from average)<\/b><br \/>_________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><b>2025 Sky Harbor Official Rainfall: 8.31&#8243; (+1.09&#8243; from average)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Monsoon 2025 Sky Harbor Official Rainfall: 2.76&#8243; (+0.33&#8243; from average)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>__________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><b>Daily rainfall reports from all across the Valley can be found\u00a0<\/b><a class=\"Link\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wrh.noaa.gov\/psr\/RainfallReport.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here.<\/a><br \/>__________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><b>PHOENIX IS GETTING DRIER &#8211; LOWER RAINFALL AVERAGES NOW<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Average Monsoon Rainfall in Phoenix (1981-2010): 2.71&#8243; of rain<\/p>\n<p>NEW Average Monsoon Rainfall in Phoenix (1991-2020): 2.43&#8243; of rain<\/p>\n<p>Average Yearly Rainfall in Phoenix (1981-2010): 8:03&#8243; of rain<\/p>\n<p>NEW Average Yearly Rainfall in Phoenix (1991-2020): 7.22&#8243; of rain<br \/>__________________________________________<\/p>\n<p><b>Share your weather photos and videos with us anytime:<\/b> <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc15.com\/weather\/mailto:share@abc15.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">share@abc15.com.<\/a><br \/>______________________________________<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc15.com\/weather\/daily-forecast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">See the full 7-Day forecast<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc15.com\/weather\/radar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Interactive Arizona Radar<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHOENIX \u2014 The strong ridge of high pressure centered over the west coast is keeping Arizona dry, sunny,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":522781,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5131],"tags":[72582,72583,5229,5643,1587,72584,72585,72586,72587,72588,72589,72590,1589,7158,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-522780","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-phoenix","8":"tag-abc15","9":"tag-amber-sullins","10":"tag-america","11":"tag-arizona","12":"tag-az","13":"tag-chandler-weather","14":"tag-gilbert-forecast","15":"tag-gilbert-weather","16":"tag-glendale-weather","17":"tag-iris-hermosillo","18":"tag-jorge-torres","19":"tag-local-weather","20":"tag-phoenix","21":"tag-phoenix-weather","22":"tag-united-states","23":"tag-united-states-of-america","24":"tag-unitedstates","25":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","26":"tag-us","27":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115910510116323233","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=522780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/522780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/522781"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=522780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=522780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=522780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
