around. and most of us will stay dry this morning. for most, a dry drive into work. and a slight chance of a stray shower before storm chances kick in by this afternoon. temperatures are mostly in the 60s to 70s with light winds across the valley or light breezes rather between five and 15 miles per hour in the phoenix metro. and the winds continue to kick up thanks to an area of low pressure to the south. that will keep the winds around so today for the valley. instead of the stronger wind gusts we saw yesterday, occasional gusts near 25 miles per hour. and winds overall sustained between five and 15 miles per hour. and in southeastern arizona we had strong winds and dust and a little lighter today. storms fire up to the south. and we'll talk about when the storms could move in to the

trustworthy. we tend to gravitate to politicians who are more like us. >> one attribute would be transparency. they're happy to have you inspect them. they have nothing to hide. there's that old saying people that have nothing to hide hide nothing. so a politician who is transparent and accountable and who does what they say they're going to do. >> there are other factors tha have an impact. and it comes down to body language, a person's ability to admit when they've made a mistake. and who you might want to hang out with. if you're getting ready to head out the door. as we take a live look looking towards tempe all dry and high, thin clouds and not seeing any rain in the valley. i am keeping a close eye on a

stick around for the next few days. today again we'll watch the showers and storms to the south. what could happen is those storms from this morning stay to the south. and then as we go into the afternoon, we see more storms down to the south. and those push towards the phoenix metro by late this afternoon and evening. keep the mobile app handy. there's the potential for storms today. a 20% chance in the forecast. and we're breezes as highs only make it to the low 90s. i'll break down the hour-by- hour temperature planner in a few minutes. the slow spot on the morning drive is i-17 southbound around the durango curve but the rest of the valley is light. that includes i-10 in the west valley. and this is eastbound on the 10 from 75th avenue to the ministack. on the 17 we have another

northbound just south of dunlap. and it's still partially blocking the right lane. you might see minor brake lights in the area. but the big closure on the 17 southbound at 7th street is causing major delays. so i'll give you a closer look at how to get around it. as you wake up this morning, the new s.a.t.s. it's a big deal for those trying to get into college. but is the the old one. >> our fathers and mothers are killed and we can't see them any more. >> powerful words from a young

the smart route. i would recommend once you hit the stack, take i-10 eastbound. or the 51 if you want to hop over there. the rest of the valley is not doing too bad but in the past couple of minutes, it's slowing down. starting at the live desk. when a quiet neighborhood is woken by gu a man with an ar-15 opened fire at them and shots were exchanged. that man is dead and we're taking you to the scene. katie conner is live. any officers injured? >> reporter: fortunately no officers were injured which is amazing because this guy fired several rounds. there are shell casings behind me. a couple houses down he was on his driveway where the white

was standing on his driveway and started shooting at officers. and those officers fired back. and the s.w.a.t. team was called in. >> they used the robot to take a look around and they discovered the individual deceased in an upstairs closet. >> reporter: now, it's not clear whether the suspect took his own life or whether he was hit in the the name of the suspect is not being released. detectives want to piece together what led up to the shootout. police were originally called out for a domestic violence call. fortunately, the family was able to escape. police had no previous contact with the suspect. they'll continue to gather evidence and right now we're trying to confirm if the
