Arizona wind advisory in effect with 45 mph gusts

Coming up my forecast and it's actually right now 545 on your Friday and we are taking a live look right into the heart of Flagstaff breezy conditions out there it was pretty windy earlier things are dying down a little bit but at the airport which is a little farther south than town in Flagstaff those winds are coming out of the northeast at 18 miles an hour their temperature right now 43 degrees here in the valley look we're still continuing to see some very breezy conditions to start us off this morning coming out the northeast there at 20 miles an hour data or rather our temperature currently 78 degrees let's talk about those daytime highs we'll get up to about 87 degrees mostly sunny skies but our big weather story is going to continue to be those very windy conditions for today by tonight we'll see those clouds start to move into the forecast area we'll get to that in just a second but first let's take a look at those current temperatures low 70s from Glendale up into Surprise upper 60s right now in Wickenburg 79 and Buckeye mid 70s right now in Mesa 78 and AJ and those low 70s at the Gateway Airport up in the high country, low 40s in Flagstaff, mid 40s at the Grand Canyon, and then those low 70s along the western side of our state. Satellite radar picture, as you can see, not showing much out there, but by tomorrow, especially tomorrow morning, we're going to start to see those clouds start to move into the forecast area. Chance of seeing some rain by late tomorrow morning, and then that could continue up into portions of the high country by tomorrow as well. But our big weather story for this Friday is going to be the wind, and as you can see, pretty much everybody in Arizona is going to be under some sort of advisory or warning. Let's start with the advisory. All of the areas that you see shaded in this kind of khaki color, that's that wind advisory. Now, they have extended this a little bit until 6 p.m. this evening, and then for that southeast corner of the state, they're going to be under that high wind warning, and that's going to last through the overnight hours and into early tomorrow morning, and that will include a small portion of Pinal County. Current wind speeds out there, we're at 28 mile an hour wind speeds in Bullhead City, the 20s in places like Sedona, as well as down here into Phoenix. And so pretty much the entire state seeing some very, very breezy conditions. Let's talk about the wind gusts because we could see some of those wind gusts here in the valley, anywhere from 40 to 45 miles an hour, 30 to 35 mile an hour winds possible in Payson. And again, those 40 to 45 mile an hour winds possible in the Flagstaff area. So if you have any of those decorations out for Halloween, you might want to just tuck them into the garage today because of these winds. Now, keep in mind, when we have these winds picking up, especially anywhere from 40 to 45 miles an hour, we could potentially see some damaging winds. We could also see some blowing dust a little bit later on this afternoon, which could diminish visibility on any of our roadways out there, especially the 8 as well as the 10 just south of town. So just keep that in mind as you are making plans throughout the rest of your afternoon. Forecast highs for today will top out close to 87 degrees, which is right on par with where we should be for this time of the year. We'll see those 60s along the rim country, low 70s today in Sedona and continuing over to Prescott, upper 50s in Flagstaff, and then those low 90s along the western side of our state. Here is that 10-day forecast, slight chance of some showers possible for tomorrow. The National Weather Service giving us about a 20% chance Sunday in those low 80s, and then we're warming up as we head into the beginning of your work week into those upper 80s once again.
