Arizona Weather Force has issued a High Wind Warning for Monday into Tuesday as a strong blast of arctic air is expected to hit.
Use the images within this post for your area, and I’m extremely surprised your government weather service has no wind alerts in the zones I am highlighting. Useless is what they are. There is not much to talk about, other than Payson is going to see the 60 mph+ mark with this event as well as many other places. The event will spread into the Phoenix, Pinal, and Tucson zones as well.
Here are your zoom in maps
