PHOENIX — High pressure stays put for the start of the week, as temperatures across Arizona continue to stay well above normal.
Another storm system will be passing to our north this week bringing cooler air and strong winds our way.
Temperatures will go from the 90s on Monday to the 80s Tuesday and Wednesday.
Winds will be out of the west southwest with gusts around the valley expected to be between 25 to 30 mph and up in the high country 30-40 mph with isolated gusts of 50 mph.
With humidity levels below fifteen percent, fire danger will also be heightened around the state.
Highs will warm back up into the 90s by the end of the week.
Although our Valley forecast will stay dry, Flood Warnings remain in effect for the Salt and Gila rivers through next Friday (April 21st) due to recent water releases from our reservoirs. Do not attempt to cross any flowing water in any of these areas.
