Flood Warnings Persist in Arizona Amid Warm Weather
Arizona is experiencing a mix of warm weather and active flood warnings. Phoenix reached a high of 79°F (26°C) under mostly sunny skies, cooling to the upper 50s°F (14°C) overnight. Flood warnings remain in effect for several rivers, including the Gila River near Buckeye and Gila Bend, which will persist until Saturday afternoon. A low-pressure system is expected to bring gusty winds and isolated rain chances to parts of Arizona starting Friday. Winds in the Colorado River Valley could gust up to 40 mph, creating choppy conditions on Lake Havasu and Lake Mohave. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are possible in eastern Arizona, including the White Mountains and Mogollon Rim, late Friday morning through Friday night. Dry and sunny conditions are forecast for the weekend, with temperatures near seasonal averages.
