What does a lot of dry air bring? It causes huge swings in temperature! Our office experienced a 54° temperature swing between this morning and afternoon! The high of 92° is the hottest we've recorded so far this summer, and the low of 38° is the coldest we've seen so far this month!! #Azwax pic.twitter.com/t3ZB0caxEl
