An easterly wave tracking north-westward through the region today will bring a few sprinkles and light showers to portions of SoCal. As the skies clear this afternoon, we should have enough instability for a few showers or thunderstorms to develop, but instability is pretty low, so any convection today should be fairly isolated. Cooler out there today courtesy of the cloud cover, with highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. A few showers or storms are still possible tonight with some nocturnal activity as lows cool to the 50s. Another complex of storms will likely fire off over Arizona and northern Sonora today, which should send us a decent surge of moisture tomorrow with scattered, mainly afternoon showers and thunderstorms, continuing throughout the week. Better moisture and dynamics should bring more widespread activity Monday and Tuesday. Any thunderstorms that develop may produce brief heavy downpours, gusty winds, frequent lightning, and small hail. Temperatures will remain near average throughout the week as daytime highs hover near 80 degrees, while lows remain in the 50s. The monsoon flow will stay active even through next weekend, with a varying degree of activity from day to day, possibly increasing in coverage again later in the week as another deep surge of moisture arrives. If you have outdoor activities planned through the upcoming week, be mindful of the weather, keep a watchful eye to the sky, and always head indoors when thunder roars.
