PHOENIX — Valley temperatures will cool a bit into the low 90s for the start of the week before another BIG warm-up comes our way.
Breezy to windy conditions will continue into early next week as the next storm system we're tracking moves in from the northwest. Gusts in the valley on Monday and Tuesday will be around 25 mph and in Northern and Eastern Arizona around 40 mph.
That storm could bring a few showers to northern Arizona Monday and Tuesday. It will also bring in some slightly cooler air.
Another ridge of high pressure will develop over the west by week's end. Highs will be warming back into the upper 90s by Thursday.
Although our Valley forecast will stay dry, Flood Warnings remain in effect for the Salt and Gila rivers through Tuesday (April 25th) due to recent water releases from our reservoirs. Do not attempt to cross any flowing water in any of these areas.
