PHOENIX — Ozone pollution is building up in the Valley and we are now under an Ozone High Pollution Advisory through Tuesday.
Kids, older adults and people with respiratory conditions, like asthma or COPD, should limit time outside.
Hot and humid conditions will stick with us this week. Expect Valley highs in the low 100s with early morning lows in the 80s.
Monsoon storms will mostly be confined to the higher terrain on Tuesday, but there is still a slight chance of isolated storms in the Phoenix metro area.
A disturbance moving through northern Mexico will enhance our monsoon storm potential by the end of the week.
Valley storm chances will be at 50 to 60 percent on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Any storms that develop could bring heavy downpours and damaging winds. So, stay tuned for updates as we get closer.
Those higher storm chances will help drop temperatures. Look for highs in the 90s across the Valley on Friday and over the weekend.
