PHOENIX — Our monsoon storm threat isn't winding down anytime soon!

Storm chances ramp up Friday with the chance for more storms each day through the weekend and early next week, too.

Storms could produce gusty winds, lots of lightning, heavy rain and flooding.

Air quality will also be an issue in the Valley through Friday. An Ozone High Pollution Advisory is now in effect through tomorrow. If you suffer for respiratory illnesses such as asthma or COPD, try to limit your time outside during the day.

With all of this monsoon moisture in place, it will stay humid but temperatures will not be as hot.

Valley highs will only reach the low 100s, putting us just below the average of 105 degrees for this time of year.

Morning temperatures will cool into the low to mid 80s each day, so we will get some relief from the heat in the overnight hours.
