Rain, 30-degree temperature drop expected later this week By Mike Sakal, Tribune East Valley Tribune | 0 comments

After a sweltering weekend, the Valley’s weather is set to go from one extreme to another and bring rain showers by Thursday.

The Valley experienced record high heat on Saturday, Sunday and Monday as temperatures reached 105 degrees in Phoenix and in east Mesa on Sunday, shattering a 63-year-old record. But a 30-degree drop in temperature is set to happen later this week, according to the National Weather Service.

A 70 percent chance of thunderstorms on Thursday is expected to cause the high temperature to be 80 degrees, said Keith Kincaid, meteorologist for the National Weather Service. The storm is riding into the Valley on a pretty strong low pressure system coming in from California, Kincaid said.
