thresholds from being reached. Much cooler temperatures arrive
Thursday with little change Friday. Precipitation chances will
tend to be slight and be limited to portions of La Paz County and
Maricopa Counties early Thursday with the next opportunity Friday
night and Saturday morning over portions of south-central Arizona.
