The Valley could see more rains this week as Hurricane Odile moves closer to Arizona. The Hurricane slammed into Mexico’s southern Baja California Peninsula overnight as a Category 3 storm.
Dan Leins, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service says we have to wait to see where the storm forms, but that it has the make up to be a particularly active storm and could bring the kind of major rains and floods we saw last week.
“You never see two weather events that are exactly the same. But last week there was tropical moisture around from a hurricane nearby and this week we’re going to have tropical moisture around with a hurricane nearby. So the potential is there," Leins said.
Leins says the storm is expected to bring rains starting Tuesday afternoon with the primary storm hitting metro Phoenix on Wednesday and Thursday.
