Strong high pressure at the surface will build over the Southern Plains today, as a dry backdoor front moves over AZ from the east. This will result in elevated winds, affecting primarily mountains/ridgetops tonight and then becoming more widespread breezy conditions by Saturday morning. Gusts are forecast to peak upwards of 40-55 mph over ridgetops and could reach up to 25-35 mph across portions of the lower deserts. As such, a Wind Advisory will be in effect for the indicated areas from 11 PM this evening through 11 AM MST Saturday.
Record high temperatures will continue through the weekend as afternoon highs near the triple digits. However, temperatures will also begin a gradual cooling trend starting this weekend and continue through the early to middle portion of next week. In addition, moisture will also be on the increase during the weekend leading to low-end rain chances, mainly over the AZ high terrain, starting on Sunday
Daily high temperatures will remain in record territory into the weekend. Even when an Extreme Heat Warning is not in effect, it is important to not let your guard down! This early-season heat (high-end Minor to low-end Moderate HeatRisk) still pose a danger to folks who are sensitive to the heat and if you do not take the proper precautions, especially during strenuous or long duration outdoor activities!
