PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The high pressure that established itself over much of the Desert Southwest this weekend continues to bring us unseasonally warm temperatures.
In the meantime, a rather weak cutoff is spinning off the coast of southern California. That disturbance will begin to move toward Arizona later today.
We’ll see a transitional-type weather pattern with more clouds, breezes and a few showers in the mountains.
Any chance of rain is very low. The disturbance will also usher in some cooler air for the end of the week, with temperatures running well below normal through the weekend.
Expect Valley highs in the 90s today and tomorrow, but dropping into the mid-80s for Thursday through the weekend.
Overnight lows by the weekend will also be running in the low 60s to upper-50s.
In the longer range, the next 7-10 days look pretty dry for the stay, and we could easily end the month without any additional rain in Phoenix.
However, some ultra-long range forecasts for the first couple of weeks of November are showing positive signs for precipitation in southern Arizona.
This would couple well with the La Niña pattern that is starting to take hold.
While we can’t say anything really definite about La Niña and Arizona winters, we do tend to see more moisture in the southern portions of the state compared to the northern mountains.
