TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – A First Alert Weather Day is in place for the first half of today due to a Wind Advisory through 1 PM for the Tucson metro and our valleys.

A backdoor front is driving the gusty winds and bringing in increasing moisture, which supports a slight chance of isolated dry thunderstorms later this afternoon. Temperatures stay seasonably warm, topping out in the upper 80s today.
We warm up a bit tomorrow as 90s return, with our warmest day Tuesday. An upper-level trough arrives mid-week, bringing cooler temperatures and a return to seasonal averages…
