Slight drought improvement across Arizona thanks to last week's rain.

Still 100% of AZ in drought, but Extreme Drought dropped 3% and Severe Drought dropped 4%.

More drought help coming toward the middle to end of next week as rain chances ramp up again.

Triple digits making a comeback in the Valley!

Daily average highs are in the mid 90s this time of year, but the average last 100°+ day is October 5th.

Monsoon 2025 ends like this....

A mixed bag of above normal and below normal rainfall across Arizona.

What a day!

With 1.64" of rain at Sky Harbor, we have completely eliminated our Monsoon 2025 rainfall deficit.

This also tied for the 18th wettest monsoon day on record in Phoenix.

As usual during the monsoon, storms have been hit or miss, but some spots did pick up more than an inch of rain over the past couple of days!

Cooler, drier air moving into the Valley this weekend.

Enjoy this little taste of fall!

Triple digits and monsoon moisture return next week.

#abc15 #abc15wx #azwx #az #wx #arizona #weather #phoenix

Winds cranking up across Arizona!

Wind Advisories in effect across the high country on Wednesday.

Gusts could hit 45 mph there and 30 mph in the Valley.

#abc15 #abc15wx #phoenix #arizona #weather #azwx

Not likely to drop below 88° before midnight, so it looks like we tied another record warm low today in Phoenix.

Nights are getting warmer here due to a combination of our changing climate and our expanding urban heat island.

#abc15 #abc15wx #azwx #az #wx #arizona #weather

Lots of rain the Valley this past week, but we're still over an inch below normal so far this monsoon in Phoenix.

We have until the end of Sept to get rain in the gauges.

As of now, the only monsoons drier than this in the past 15 years are 2019 and 2023 in terms of total rainfall at Sky Harbor.

Not a lot of lightning so far this monsoon across Arizona.

In fact, right now 2025 ranks 2nd least (behind the 2020 "non-soon") with only 123,974 strikes across Arizona. Average for the monsoon season to date would be 436,333.

Same.

Shockingly, last night's blinding haboob in Phoenix was only a Category 2 on the new Phx-Dust scale.

This is because the scale is mainly based on dust concentrations at ground-level, which maxed out at 2076 micrograms per cubic meter.

📷 Erik Vaughan

Epic haboob in the Phoenix metro area tonight.

Take a look at the view from ABC15 viewer Lauren.

This one was a beast!

We'll know for sure what category it was on our new Phx-Dust scale tomorrow. It will definitely be high!
