The Valley is experiencing triple-digit heat and rising humidity. A recent plume of Saharan dust has been affecting the area, but it is expected to leave by Thursday afternoon. As the dust clears, the skies may appear more blue.

However, this break is temporary, as computer models indicate more dust will return to the Valley. Further details about the upcoming weather pattern are available from ValleyCentral, including the expected timing of the dust's return over the weekend and into early next week.
