Looking at an active weather pattern across our area through the end of the week as remnant moisture from once Tropical Storm Mario streams into the region. A lot of this deeper moisture will stay to our west, but that could increase convective potential over much of Arizona through Friday, provided that too much cloud cover doesn't limit convection. Moisture will increase through Wednesday with showers and thunderstorms likely through the afternoon and evening. Some storms may become strong to severe and produce localized flash flooding, strong & damaging winds, frequent lightning, and large hail. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue at times through Friday, possibly through the overnight hours as weak disturbances pass through the area. It will be cooler as highs drop into the mid-90s with lows in the 70s. Thunderstorm chances will decrease over the weekend as a drier west to northwest flow develops, with seasonal fall weather expected next week; autumn officially arrives on Monday. There is another tropical system brewing in the East Pac off the coast of Mexico that bears watching as it could send some moisture in our direction later next week.
