Gusty winds of more than 40 mph caused limited visibility of less than a mile and led to dangerous conditions for drivers along Interstate 10.

Phoenix awaited another round of winds and the potential for the first significant monsoon storms of the year after Friday and Saturday teased Valley residents with active weather but no storms.
