PHOENIX — Rain moved through, winds picked up and blowing dust dropped visibility across parts of the Valley as a storm system passed by on Monday.
Gusty winds made the fight more difficult for crews battling the Wildcat Fire located just east of Carefree and west of Bartlett Lake. Aerial operations had to be halted at times on Monday.
Winds will ease up and skies will clear out overnight.
Breezes will be back Tuesday afternoon in parts of the high country, but gusts will stay less than 25 mph.
Valley high temperatures will warm back into the mid to upper 90s for the rest of the week, putting us right near normal for this time of year.
