Tucson is expected to dry out over the weekend.
Powerful but isolated storms Thursday afternoon hit parts of midtown, toppling trees and knocking out power.
A lightning bolt and a downburst of heavy rain hits in the eastern reaches of the Santa Catalinas Foothills, part of several monsoon cells that hit sporadically across the Tucson region Thursday afternoon.
A red flag warning is in effect from Saturday morning to 8 p.m., the weather service said. That means dry and windy conditions raise the chance of wildfires in the area.
Tucson is expected to be sunny all weekend with a high of 105 degrees on Saturday and 103 on Sunday, the forecast shows.
Monday’s high is expected to be 101.
