PHOENIX — After a breezy weekend with near-average temperatures, we are set to warm up more on Monday, but winds are expected to increase ahead of one of the multiple storm systems set to pass us this week.

In that Valley, we will start the new work week off with morning temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s. By the afternoon, we will warm up to the mid-80s.

Winds increase across the Valley Monday with sustained speeds between 10-15 mph and gusts up to 25 mph.

Winds will continue to be an issue across Arizona this coming week with this series of storms. On Tuesday, we will see the most potent wind with gusts in the Valley up to 30 mph, and in the high country, winds could gust up to 45 mph. Beware of the potential for blowing dust at times across the state.

A Wind Advisory will go into effect Monday into Tuesday for areas along and north of the Mogollon Rim and in the northwest pocket of our state.

With increased winds and lower humidity in southeastern Arizona, a Fire Weather Watch will begin for that region on Tuesday.

Secure loose outdoor objects that could be blown around or damaged by the wind. Winds this strong can make driving more difficult, especially for higher profile vehicles, like RVs, campers, and tractor-trailers, so be extra careful.

These storm systems will bring multiple chances for rain and snow chance across the high country. Meanwhile, in the Valley, our only chance will be Friday and it is a very slim chance.
