PHOENIX — Winds are picking up across parts of our state as another storm approaches from the north.
Wind Advisories are in effect through Wednesday evening for northwestern Mohave County. As winds shift out of the north, they will accelerate down the Colorado River Valley with gusts potentially topping 50 mph in Bullhead City.
Here in the Valley, peak wind gusts will approach 25 mph Wednesday afternoon with more breezes on Thursday too.
This weak storm system will push into Arizona by the end of the week and sit and spin over our state for a few days. The impacts will be minimal, but we could see a few spotty showers and thunderstorms along the Mogollon Rim or across northern Arizona this weekend and early next week.
Our forecast here in the Valley will stay dry as temperatures climb into the mid to upper 90s over Mother's Day weekend.
