We could see damaging winds, blowing dust, heavy rain and dangerous lightning, so stay ahead of the storms and check out our free ABC15 mobile app for live interactive radar.
Flooding will also be a concern, especially in southern Arizona, where a Flood Watch is in effect today.
We are also tracking air quality alerts here in the Valley.
An Ozone High Pollution Advisory has been issued for Tuesday.
If you have asthma, COPD, or any other respiratory issue, limit your time outside in the afternoon hours or you may have difficulty breathing. Exposure to ozone can increase the number and severity of asthma attacks, cause or aggravate bronchitis or other lung disease, and reduce the body’s ability to fight infection.

Kids, older adults and anyone trying to exercise outside may experience health impacts from ozone pollution. Symptoms may include itchy eyes, nose and throat, wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, chest pain, and upper respiratory issues.
We can all help prevent the pollution problem from getting worse. If you have a gas-powered vehicle, try to drive as little as possible this week. Carpooling, working from home, or re-fueling your vehicle after dark helps too.
