PHOENIX — Another storm system is headed our way, but it's not going to bring any rain or snow.
Instead, it's just winds picking up across our state.
Wind Advisories are already in effect in Mohave County along the Colorado River Valley through Wednesday. Northerly winds could hit 40 mph with peak gusts near 50 mph in Bullhead City, Lake Havasu City, Fort Mohave and Lake Mead.
Here in the Valley, breezes will pick up on Wednesday with gusts topping out near 30 mph in the afternoon.
But, in areas just north and east of Phoenix, winds will be howling overnight into Wednesday morning.
Wind Advisories have been posted for Cave Creek, Carefree, Anthem, New River and North Scottsdale until 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Watch out for peak wind gusts near 45 mph in the overnight hours.
Areas east of the Valley, like Superior, will be under Wind Advisories overnight too.
Winds will lighten up on Thursday and stay light as we head into the weekend.
Temperatures will drop a few degrees by Friday, putting much of the Valley back down into the upper 60s.
Then, we're tracking low 70s over the weekend with overnight lows in the 40s.
