Tempe is greeted with rain on Dec. 25, 2019.

Despite warm temperatures Wednesday, much of the state is facing high chances of precipitation.

Starting Thursday, the remnants of Hurricane Priscilla will bring storm chances ranging from 40%-70% in the Phoenix area.

Phoenix National Weather Service meteorologist Matt Salerno says the area around Globe, which was hammered by a fatal flood last month, is expected to see 1 to 2 inches of rain fall.

"But it’s gonna be drawn out over several days, so hopefully that won’t contribute to all the water flowing down through the city all at once like we saw in the last one," Salerno said.

Salerno says despite rain taking place over several days, flooding could be an issue in the Valley as well.
