PHOENIX — A weak disturbance is exiting the state, but breezy conditions are sticking around through Tuesday.

A Lake Wind Advisory is in effect for areas along the upper Colorado River in northwest Arizona Tuesday. Gusts could peak near 40 mph in that area.

Gusts in the Valley could hover between 25 to 30 mph, and gusts in northern Arizona as high as 30 to 35 mph.

Once this storm clears out, high pressure begins to build in and it's bringing a huge warm-up this week.

Phoenix is likely to see its first 90-degree day of the year by Thursday. On average, our first 90-degree day tends to happen in late March.

The Valley stays in the 90s through Friday ahead of another potential disturbance, bringing cooler not as warm conditions and more breezes by the weekend.
