Forecast Discussion:

It'll feel more like late spring in central Arizona this week, with temperatures reaching the 90s today and even into the mid-upper 90s tomorrow. High pressure overhead is the reason for our temperature increase, but weak systems will impact the region later in the forecast period, helping to lower temperatures a little bit.

Though we are not expecting any precipitation in the lower desert areas of the state this week, increased winds from upper level lows will impact air quality starting Thursday and into the weekend. Brief afternoon blowing dust will be possible at the tail end of our forecast period, with today, tomorrow, and Wednesday being mainly locally driven.

As we transition towards the warmer and drier months of the year, we continue to watch ozone trends increase into the Moderate AQI category. No exceedances are currently expected, but ozone will continue to increase as we approach this year's ozone season.

Have a great start to your week.
