Forecast Discussion:

It'll feel like true western winter weather over the next 5 days as strong breezes envelop the region due to an active upper level pattern. Afternoon winds of 15-25 mph out of the northeast will kick-start our active period, with a calming period tomorrow afternoon before an abrupt winds shift out of the southwest on Saturday.

What we are hopeful in seeing late Sunday night into Monday morning is a frontal boundary, bringing along with it a chance for precipitation. Though rain will likely struggle to make it all the way to southern Arizona, the increase in moisture may help to lower particulate levels a little bit, and hopefully end this dry spell we've dealt with as far back as August 2024 in some areas.

Before then, dryer conditions will persist, alongside strong surface winds throughout the period, we expect blowing dust to be a concern in more dust-prone areas. Our hourly graphs above show this potential going forward.

Check in with us tomorrow for the weekend forecast.
