Our hot summer weather will continue a few more days, though we do have cooler temperatures and possible afternoon convection returning to the forecast. As high pressure strengthens over the area the remainder of the week, temperatures will increase slightly through 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 blew up over Arizona and Northern Mexico last night sending a surge of moisture in our direction. This may be help trigger a few low-topped showers or thunderstorms this afternoon with highs in the mid 80s, winds mostly light except gusty near storms. 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.
