12 News Meteorologist Lindsay Riley said the storms may bring blowing dust, gusty winds and lightning. The more potent storms might cause flash flooding. She said the eastern half of Maricopa County should see more rain than the western half.
The good storm possibility should last through the morning commute on Tuesday. NWS Phoenix said showers and thunderstorms are expected mainly before 11 a.m.
