Michigan to Arizona in Aug,Sept

Depending on where you are going in AZ it may still be very hot and the monsoon may still be around.

I 30 in Texarkana is not to bad now days most of the construction is complete. You could miss I 30 and take I 70 I44 I40 to AZ.

Why would anyone come to Arizona in August? Unless you are planning Northern Az?

Just stay at the higher altitudes in August in AZ.

We are thinking of travel from Michigan to Arizona late August. Anything we need to be aware of. We have traveled a stretch of road in the past on I30 around texarkana that just about beat us to death. Has that stretch of road been repaired? Any other suggestions?

/eastern Az. is very nice in those to months. I will be in Alpine myself as I fine it nice and cool lots of amimals to see some fishing. A lot of parks both prive and public.

Numerous cool climate areas in AZ in the north or eastern areas. A few in the southern part of the state as well.

Where in Arizona? Coming from most places in Michigan, the shortest and fastest route to northern Arizona will usually be whatever takes you to I-80/I-90/I-94 to I-55, I-44, then I-40. From I-40, I-17 down to Phoenix?

Coming down to Indianapolis and across I-70 to St Louis is at least an hour longer, and coming all the way down through Little Rock, Dallas, Odessa to I-10 is a whole lot longer than it needs to be, to get to I-10. Taking I-44 to Oklahoma City, then I-35 to I-30 or I-20 would be shorter and faster.

However, it all depends on the places you want to see on the way.
