Evening weather forecast - 10/13/25
Rain hit the Valley for the fifth day in a row, further saturating the grounds. However, the FOX 10 weather experts expect drier days ahead.
PHOENIX - Our stretch of wet weather continues today, but it should be the last.
Today:
Scattered showers and storms passed across the state on Monday morning, and heavy afternoon storms brought flooding to the Valley and the Globe/Miami areas.
Flood advisories and flash flood warnings are in effect in the Valley through the evening hours.
Washes, drainage areas, green spaces and roads will experience flooding until around 5:15 p.m. The Globe area will be under flash flood warnings until 7 p.m. Get to high ground, and never drive through flooded areas.
Widespread rain will continue northward across eastern Arizona throughout the evening. Isolated showers and storms will be possible in central and north-central AZ.
Yet again, flooding is a concern in Maricopa County, Gila County, and all of south/southeastern Arizona. Rain totals in the Valley may reach 0.25" to 0.50" and totals of 0.50" to 1.00" are possible around areas directly east of the Valley near Globe/Miami. Any thunderstorms could produce over 1" of rain in the state.
The forecast high will warm to 83 today in Phoenix. However, an area of low pressure will approach with a cold front in the days to come.
This brings breezy to windy weather across the state today. In fact, a wind advisory is in place until this evening for portions of Mohave and Coconino Counties.
On top of the rain, strong winds are hitting the high country, especially in the sunny spots. Flagstaff recorded 40 mph wind gusts Monday afternoon.
Local Impact:
According to Tempe city officials, a "significant microburst and thunderstorm" hit the East Valley city at around 1:00 p.m., causing damages that were described as "significant," especially in an area between Guadalupe and Elliott roads, and in between Kyrene and Rural roads.
Tomorrow:
Overnight and Tuesday morning should bring, finally, a dry spell. Only spotty rain showers will continue in the mountains on Tuesday morning and midday.
We can expected a morning temperature of 66 degrees, and a high temperature of 85 degrees. Tuesday will remain muggy, but we will see much drier air moving into the Valley by Thursday.
The winds will be even stronger in the high country on Tuesday, with some gusts as high as 50 mph. The Valley will see much lighter winds of around 20 mph.
Later this week:
The cold front will bring cooler temperatures to the state midweek. The forecast high is 84 on Tuesday and 79 on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday will only reach the low 80s. The weekend should be beautiful with dry air, sunshine, and morning lows around the upper 50s to low 60s with afternoon highs in the low to middle 80s.

Rain/flood safety tips
The American Red Cross' tips for heavy rain situations and flood safety:
- Turn around, don’t drown! If you must drive, and you encounter a flooded roadway, turn around and go another way.
- If you are caught on a flooded road and waters are rising rapidly around you, get out of the car quickly and move to higher ground.
- Tune in to your local radio, NOAA radio, or news channels for the latest updates.
- If your neighborhood is prone to flooding, be prepared to evacuate quickly.
- Follow evacuation orders and do not attempt to return until officials say it is safe.
- If power lines are down, do not step in puddles or standing water.
- If the power is out, use a flashlight. Do not use any open flame as alternate lighting.
Preparing for a severe thunderstorm
The American Red Cross' tips for preparing for a severe thunderstorm:
- Put together an emergency kit.
- Know your community’s evacuation plan.
- Create a household disaster plan and practice it.
- Purchase a battery-powered or hand-crank radio
- Discuss thunderstorm safety with members of your household. Be aware that a thunderstorm could produce flooding.
