Weather Forecast (updated Friday, August 1st @ 1:30am © 2014): Mid and upper level moisture will be on the increase today as our southerly, monsoon flow returns just in time for the weekend with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms developing; warm and humid with highs in the lower 80's to finish off our week. This we'll see a better low level surge of moisture as a tropical low is expected to pass through the region, which will bring a good chance of widespread showers and thunderstorms at times and not just confined to the mountains & deserts with some nocturnal activity expected. With the lower level moisture surge and enhanced instability also comes the risk of storms producing flash flooding rains, gusty winds, frequent lightning and hail; the potential even exists for some isolated severe weather over the weekend. Be extra cautious if planning outdoor activities this the weekend, keep a watchful eye to the sky and seek shelter indoors if a thunderstorm approaches your area. A bit cooler as well as highs drop into the 70's, with lows near 50 each night. By next week, the tropical disturbance lifts out of the area taking the monsoon moisture and threat of thunderstorms with it, for warming temperatures and drier conditions returning. |
