Southern Arizona could get a break from triple-digit temperatures

Thursday was wet in some areas of southern Arizona, and the chances are high of that continuing into the weekend.

The bulk of the showers and storms will likely hit the south and east parts of Tucson, extending through Sunday, according to Glenn Laeder, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Tucson.

Although Tucson has seen triple-digit temperatures for the entire month of June, there's a potential escape from the heat.

"Top of Mt. Lemon looks really nice," Laeder said. "Temperatures in the low to mid-70s for daytime highs, although there are thunderstorm chances everyday up on the higher terrain."

Laeder also says there is a chance the streak of triple-digit days will break by the first of next week, due to the moisture and clouds.
