MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Breezes picking up ahead of Memorial Day weekend

Posted
and last updated

PHOENIX — Breezy conditions will return Friday as a weak disturbance passes to our north, ushering in slightly cooler air.

In the Valley, winds will gust up to 25 mph. Farther north, gusts may exceed 35 mph, heightening the risk of critical fire weather in the dry high country.

Along the Colorado River in Mohave County, a Wind Advisory is in effect from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Gusts over 35 mph could create hazardous conditions for small boats on Lake Mohave and Lake Mead, where waves may reach one to three feet.

Winds will ease heading into Memorial Day weekend, with Valley highs dipping into the upper 90s to low 100s.
