In Santa Cruz and, more broadly, across the state of Arizona: As the afternoon progresses into the evening, clear skies will persist, keeping temperatures very hot, ranging from 89 to 98 degrees Fahrenheit. There is a slight chance of a brief shower, with rain accumulation around 0.01 inches and a maximum probability of 27%. Winds will be moderate, coming from the west at up to 10 mph, with gusts reaching 9 mph. Humidity levels are expected to stay relatively steady, so the evening will remain warm and mostly dry, with only a small chance of light rain. Temperatures will gradually cool as the night approaches but will remain above seasonal averages. Residents should stay hydrated and be prepared for the warm conditions if outdoors.
