Yuma, AZ (KYMA, KECY-TV) – Light to windy conditions today with stronger winds expected in the Imperial Valley.
A high wind advisory is currently in effect for Imperial County through midnight.
Strong westerly winds of 20-30 MPH are expected, with gusts of up to 45 MPH expected.
Look below to see where the wind is heading tonight. While we have some light breezes here in Yuma, more moderate winds are expected tomorrow at Imperial.
The Imperial County APCD has issued an Air Quality Alert due to increased particulate matter from tonight’s dust splash in the Imperial Valley.
Stay safe and remember our sandstorm safety tips.
Flood warnings have been extended through 5 p.m. Friday, April 21 along the Gila River near Tacna, Arizona.
This is due to the release of an upstream dam, which could cause flooding along the Gila River downstream of Painted Rock.
If you encounter a flood, be sure to remember to ‘turn around and don’t drown’.
For the rest of the work, this weekend will see near-seasonal temperatures before returning to warmer than normal temperatures.
