PHOENIX — After a couple of days of near-record heat, Valley highs will back away from the records and start trending down ahead of the weekend.We'll see a few more clouds move across our sky today but it's staying dry, which means we won't add any more rain to the official monsoon bucket before the season ends on September 30th.
High pressure is responsible for the warm-up this week as it also pulls in dry air across the region. Wind gusts will peak near 40 mph here in the Valley, and near 50 mph across the high country on Saturday. Relative humidity in the Valley and across our deserts will drop to below 15 percent on Saturday, and that combined with the strong winds will increase the risk for wildfires. A Fire Weather Watch has been issued for the entire Phoenix Metro and most of southern and southwest Arizona for Saturday. Use caution and avoid activities that could cause sparks and lead to wildfires.
