Today's Forecast

• 95°
• 73°

Although we will be enjoying cooler temperatures today (in the mid 90s), it might be best to stay inside.  Very high winds across the state and, even in the Valley, we could see wind gusts up to 45 mph. 

Dust will start to kick up in the Valley and across the state early in the afternoon.

In fact, a dust storm warning is in effect for the Chinle Valley of northeastern Arizona in anticipation of those strong gusts.

Almost the entire state is still under a  Red Flag Warning until 8 this evening.  In many of our fire zones we could see gusts up to 60 mph and sustained winds will remain around 30-40 mph. 

The windy changes will bring in additional cooling, knocking us back down into the 80s for Saturday, highs will be near 90° in the Valley on Sunday.

Memorial Day will be sunny and in the mid 90s.
