High pressure over Southern Nevada will drift east over the Four Corners region the remainder of the week, with the flow turning more out of the east to southeast. This will finally advect tropical moisture into the region for an increasing chance of afternoon convection beginning around Thursday. The flow around this ridge has also brought some drift smoke in from wildfires in Nevada and Arizona for hazy skies, there are currently no fires in our area. An easterly wave will also track through the region on Friday into Saturday and could generate widespread shower and thunderstorm activity, which is forecast to decrease early next week as a drier southwest flow develops. Expect another warm day out there today under mostly sunny skies with highs in the lower to mid-80s. Southwesterly winds continuing 10-15 mph at times with gusts to 20 mph possible during the afternoon. Winds will turn more easterly on Wednesday with mid & upper-level moisture beginning to increase for some afternoon clouds. The slight bump up in humidity will bring temperatures back down closer to average as highs hover near 80° through the end of the week into the weekend, while overnight lows cool to the upper 40s and lower 50s. Thunderstorm activity will start off somewhat isolated and high based on Thursday, as deeper moisture arrives down to 700mb on Friday and Saturday, storms may become capable of producing locally heavy rain, gusty winds, frequent lightning & small hail. If you have outdoor interests now through the weekend, pay close attention to the weather, keep a watchful eye on the sky, and always seek shelter when a thunderstorm approaches your area.
