High pressure to our southeast over Northern Mexico will bring warmer temperatures over the next few days and increasing humidity. The flow around this ridge will draw enough mid & upper-level moisture north into the region for a chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly late Tuesday into Wednesday, drying on Thursday. A trough will return to the West Coast later in the week for cooler temperatures and gusty west winds through the weekend. Expect partly cloudy skies through Tuesday, warmer with highs in the lower to mid-80s, southerly winds gusting 10-20 mph at times. Increasing moisture from the south could bring a few sprinkles or showers later in the day. Slightly deeper moisture will arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday with better instability as a weak disturbance traverses the area. This should help destabilize the atmosphere enough for a few showers or thunderstorms. Daytime highs will remain in the 80s through midweek, as overnight lows cool to the 40s and 50s. A drier southwest flow develops on Thursday, pushing moisture east of our area with a cooling trend as temperatures return to normal by the weekend. Long range looks pretty dry at this time next week with a gradual warm-up as we approach the Independence holiday. Forecast models are mixed headed into July, but leaning wetter than normal with above average rainfall, a good sign our monsoon season may officially get underway!
