Even though we have seen a lot of rain lately, topsoils will likely dry out quickly due to the hot temperatures this week. As a result, as thunderstorm chances return, we will be closely watching the threat of blowing dust with any outflows that move into the Valley this weekend.

The main concern before the dust threat this weekend will be ozone. . .With all of the above working together, along with the fact, ozone reached 100 AQI yesterday in Phoenix, expecting ozone values to be above the federal health standard today through Saturday. As a result, an Ozone High Pollution Advisory is in effect today and Wednesday, with an Ozone High Pollution Watch in effect Thursday through Saturday.
