PHOENIX — Get ready for a windy Thanksgiving across much of Arizona!
A storm system is passing to our east, bringing us stronger winds and cooler air.
As winds shift out of the north, gusts will peak near 25 mph here in the Valley.
Winds will be much stronger up north, though.
Wind Advisories are in effect along the Mogollon Rim and along the upper Colorado River Valley. Gusts in places like Flagstaff, Sedona, Heber, Payson and Bullhead City will peak near 45 to 50 mph on Thanksgiving.
Valley highs will drop to the upper 60s to low 70s on Thanksgiving day and stay there all through the holiday weekend.
Our forecast will stay dry through the weekend, but we're tracking another storm system moving in early next week.
That storm could bring rain and snow back to Arizona as early as Monday night.
Stay tuned for updates as we get closer!
