A strong backdoor front will move across Southeast Arizona from the east Thursday night into Saturday. A High Wind Warning is in effect for much of southeastern Arizona until 5 AM Saturday with a Wind Advisory in south central to southwestern portions of the state. Elevated winds continue on Saturday through 2 PM with a Wind Advisory in effect for southeastern Arizona. The strongest wind gusts may exceed 55-75 mph, especially in areas west-northwest of terrain.
Due to the increased winds Friday there can be lofted areas of blowing dust. Limit physical activity to reduce heavier breathing, which allows for particulate matter to penetrate deeper in the lungs.
