PHOENIX — For the start of the week temperatures will warm up. Highs approach the mid-90s on Monday and Tuesday.
With another storm system moving in, winds will pick up again across Arizona on Tuesday and Wednesday. We may even see a few spotty showers in northern Arizona.
Temperatures will drop again, too.
Valley temperatures will be back in the mid to upper 80s on Wednesday and upper 80s on Thursday.
We're also tracking another Flood Warning along the Salt River from Granite Reef to Tempe Town Lake until May 11th as water releases continue from our reservoirs. Watch for road closures along the Salt River and do not attempt to cross any flooded areas or roadways.
A Flood Warning is also in effect for parts of the Gila River in southwestern Arizona as the flow increases due to water releases from the Painted Rock Dam. This warning has now been extended through May 16th. Do not attempt to cross any flooded roadways.
