PHOENIX — As winds lighten up, air quality is getting worse.
An Ozone High Pollution Advisory is in effect for the Phoenix area through Saturday.
If you have a respiratory condition, like asthma or COPD, limit your time outside or you could have trouble breathing.
Air quality in the Valley should improve a bit on Sunday as winds pick up, but that will lead to increased wildfire danger again across northern Arizona.
Most of northern Arizona is now under a Fire Weather Watch for Sunday.
Here in the Valley, daytime highs will top out in the mid 90s over the weekend with early morning lows in the 60s.
