Our hot summer weather will continue a few more days, though we do have cooler temperatures and possible afternoon convection in the forecast. As high pressure strengthens over the area the remainder of the week, temperatures will increase slightly into the weekend. This ridge will also remain near the Four Corners region, drawing monsoon moisture into the area for a chance of afternoon thundershowers at times. A large complex of storms erupted over Arizona and Northern Mexico last night sending a nice surge of moisture in our direction. This has helped in triggering showers and thunderstorms around the area this afternoon! Daytime highs will top out in the upper 80s to around 90 degrees again Friday and Saturday as high pressure strengthens again, while overnights remain mild with lows in the 50s. The flow around ridge should draw additional moisture into the region Sunday into next week with a chance for afternoon thundershowers continuing and gradually cooler temperatures. If you have an outdoor activities planned, always head indoors when thunder roars as storms are always capable of producing heavy downpours, gusty winds, frequent lightning and small hail.
