Strong winds continue across parts of Arizona; triple digits to return mid-week

PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A Red Flag warning is in effect until 8 p.m. for eastern Arizona, including the Greer Fire, where continued gusts from the southwest at 40-45 mph are possible.

On Sunday, the Red Flag Warning will continue for the Little Colorado River Valley. Gusty conditions will likely continue at times for the rest of Eastern Arizona, including Greer. Monday will also be breezy in the high country as winds turn more from the northwest. A few showers and thunderstorms are possible from tonight into Monday in the high country, but much of the area will likely stay dry.

After a breezy day in the Valley, breezes will continue at times this evening into Sunday morning with gusts of 20-25 mph possible. A cool front will knock highs back to the 80s on Sunday, with a high of 88 expected. Sunday afternoon and evening may not be quite as breezy in the Valley as Saturday, but some gusts of 20 mph are still possible.

Monday will be warmer with highs in the low 90s. Breezes will pick up from the west Monday afternoon and evening with potential gusts around 25 mph. Highs will continue to warm in the upper 90s on Tuesday as a ridge of high pressure starts to build. The ridge will continue to take hold mid-week, bringing high temperatures into the low to mid-100s Wednesday through Friday. For the start of Memorial Day weekend on Saturday, highs are forecast just above 100. However, there is some uncertainty about the temperature forecast from Saturday into the rest of Memorial Day weekend, so check back for updates.
