Isolated thunderstorms will be possible Wednesday afternoon and evening, primarily across the AZ high terrain and the lower deserts of south-central AZ. Some storms will be capable of producing gusty wind near 35 mph, with higher gusts possible with stronger cells. Patchy blowing dust may also accompany these strong outflow winds.
Increasing tropical moisture will yield enhanced shower and thunderstorm chances across much of the region. Some storm may be strong, producing gusty winds that could yield areas of blowing dust.
