PHOENIX — Our Valley forecast will stay sunny and dry, but there's still a chance of showers and thunderstorms in northern Arizona.

Our next storm system will pick up winds on Monday and Tuesday, helping to improve air quality across the Valley. Expect afternoon wind gusts up to 35 mph in the Valley.

It will also bring in some cooler air, which will get Phoenix out of the triple digits starting on Wednesday.

Highs will stay in the mid to upper 90s for the rest of next week, too.

We also continue to track a Flood Warning that remains in effect for parts of the Gila River in southwestern Arizona as the flow increases due to water releases from the Painted Rock Dam. This warning remains in effect through June 6. Do not attempt to cross any flooded roadways.
