An easterly wave tracking west out of Arizona will move into our area today into Monday, this should help destabilize the atmosphere for shower and thunderstorm development, some of which could spill west over our coastal and valley areas. Temperatures will cool over the next few days due to the increase in cloud cover and humidity, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s as overnight lows remain in the 50s. High pressure will remain over the Four Corners region throughout much of next week, drawing additional moisture into the region with scattered showers and thunderstorms at times, especially during the afternoons. We will see a varying degree of coverage and intensity from day to day, but some storms could be locally strong to severe and capable of producing flash flooding rains, gusty winds, frequent lightning, and hail. Always head indoors when thunder roars; if you can hear it, you're close enough to be struck by lightning. At this time, it looks like the monsoon flow will stay active through next weekend, so expect some beneficial rainfall over the next 7-10 days!
