PHOENIX — While our Valley forecast looks to stay dry, high pressure is building and sending temperatures soaring for Father's Day.
Breezes will pick up tomorrow and Monday across Arizona. The Valley can expect wind gusts between 30-35 mph while the high country will see gusts between 40-55 mph.
A Wind Advisory has been issued for Mohave County for all day Monday. Southwest winds will be between 25-35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph on top of that. Gusty winds could blow around unsecured objects, tree limbs could be blown down and a few power outages may result.
A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for portions of Yavapai, Coconino, Apache and Navajo Counties for all day Monday. Southwest 20 to 30 mph with gusts of 40 to 50 mph. Relative humidity as low as 10 percent. The combination of gusty winds and low humidity can cause wildfires to rapidly grow in size and intensity.

Although next week still looks hot, temperatures will be dropping a few degrees as afternoon breezes continue.
