Arizona Prepares for Windy Weather Chaos, While Phoenix Remains Unscathed

Wind gusts exceeding 50 mph are likely to create hazardous driving conditions in northern Arizona. A new weather system is moving through the region, bringing strong winds and scattered snow showers. The Kaibab Plateau and the north rim of the Grand Canyon could receive an inch or two of snow, but most areas will only experience a light dusting.

These strong winds pose challenges on the roads, with potential areas of blowing dust. It’s important for drivers to exercise caution, particularly in windy conditions. The Phoenix area, while remaining dry, will also feel the effects of gusty winds, which could range from 20 to 30 mph. Such conditions may disperse loose objects and pollen still lingering from earlier this season.

Looking ahead, temperatures in Arizona are expected to rebound, reaching the 80s by the end of the week. The warm-up will continue into the weekend, with mid-80s predicted. This trend suggests a steady rise in temperatures, possibly hitting the 90s next week.

Notably, the average date for the first 90-degree reading in Arizona is March 26. However, residents experienced that milestone a month earlier this year on February 25.
