FORECAST: Winds picking across Arizona

PHOENIX — We’re tracking a storm system that will pass to our north on Thursday and Friday.

It will be too far away to bring Arizona any rain or snow, but winds will pick up quite a bit and temperatures will drop a few degrees by Friday.

Wind Advisories are in effect Thursday and Friday for Mohave County and the Parker Valley where gusts could reach 50 miles per hour.

Here in the Valley, expect some late afternoon breezes with gusts near 20 to 25 mph.

High pressure will build in again over the weekend, keeping our forecast dry and warming us back into the 90s by Sunday.

2026 Sky Harbor Official Rainfall to date: 0.32″ (-2.43″ from average)
