Sky conditions vary around Arizona. In the Valley and much of the state, it will be a sunny to mostly sunny sky with dry weather. From far eastern to southeastern Arizona, however, there will be a few passing showers and thunderstorms this afternoon. Some gusty outflows may pass down into Pinal County.
