PHOENIX — Monsoon storms will fire up again in parts of our state on Friday.
Here in the Valley, storm coverage will be spotty with just a few isolated storms possible.
Up north, scattered storms will develop across the higher terrain and communities near wildfire burn scars are at risk of seeing flooding.
Any storms that develop across our state could bring gusty winds, blowing dust, lightning and pockets of heavy rain.
Ozone pollution is building up again, too. An Ozone High Pollution Advisory is now in effect through Friday with Ozone High Pollution Watches in effect through the weekend. Limit your time outside if you have asthma or COPD, or you may have difficulty breathing.
Valley temperatures will continue to hit the low 100s each day through the weekend with early morning lows in the upper 70s to low 80s.
We could see a few more monsoon storms over the weekend, but by early next week our forecast will dry out.
Expect sunny skies and a big warm-up next week. Valley highs will top 105 degrees again all week long.
