| Troughing along the west will finally slide east, allowing high pressure to rebuild across the region through the end of the week. This will lead to fair and warmer weather through the weekend with increasing monsoon moisture next week. Expect mostly sunny skies again on Thursday with highs in the upper 70s, southwest winds 5-15 mph during the afternoon. High pressure will build over the Four Corners region this weekend, leading to further warming and a gradual increase in monsoonal moisture across the Desert Southwest. Most of this moisture will remain east of the Colorado River, but it could reach Southern California by the Independence holiday. Daytime highs will return to the lower 80s over the weekend, with overnight lows generally in the 40s. Above-normal temperatures are expected to persist through next week.
