PHOENIX — Dry across our state with temperatures below normal for a few more days.
Winds will pick up helping to improve our air quality by Sunday.
Peak wind gusts in the Valley could top 30 mph Sunday afternoon.
A Wind Advisory is in effect Sunday from noon to 8 pm for the eastern Mogollon Rim, White Mountains and north into the Little Colorado River Valley.
Winds will come from the south at 15-25 mph, with gust potential up to 45 mph.
Those high winds will also increase fire danger across our state as conditions stay dry.
