Phoenix sees one of wettest Octobers after weekend storms

• Phoenix Sky Harbor measured 3.26 inches of rain between last Thursday and Monday, and some parts of the East Valley saw about 4 inches, he said.

Threat level: Tempe experienced a microburst, with estimated wind speeds of at least 70 miles per hour on Monday, which downed hundreds of trees and damaged some buildings, including several apartment complexes.

Stunning stat: About 70% of all rainfall this year has occurred in the past 45 days, Lorejo said.

• Phoenix has recorded about 7.49 inches so far — roughly the annual average, he said.

What's next: Lorejo said there's no more moisture forecasted for at least the next two weeks, but the remnants of the weekend's storms combined with the current low-pressure system will keep temperatures relatively low for the rest of the week.

• The Valley may not even hit 80° on Wednesday and Thursday.

1 welcome prediction: We are likely done with triple-digit weather for the remainder of the year, Lorejo told us.
