A small surge of tropical moisture lingers this morning, with a low deck of clouds slowly burning off. Humidity and dew points remain quite high this morning, but will thin out later as low pressure moves Eastward. By tomorrow morning we'll see slightly drier conditions, but that won't last long. Another area of low pressure drops in bringing a bit of moisture and a small chance of showers late Tuesday and into Wednesday.

Highs will gradually increase through Friday before we see a course correction over the weekend. A ridge of high pressure coupled with a moving Jetstream will allow temps to reach about ten degrees above normal by Friday. As the Jetstream moves farther North, we'll notice warmer conditions starting this afternoon. Yesterday we were pretty close to our seasonal norm (98), hitting 99 late yesterday afternoon. Today, triple digits will return.

Highs today will top our near 98 degrees, which is exactly our seasonal norm for the date! The rest of the week will begin to warm up. It's a bit breezy this morning, with winds in the 15 to 25 m.p.h. range, easing overnight. A Windblown Dust Advisory remains in effect through 11 p.m. tonight. So far, air quality has stayed in the "Good" or "Moderate" range; we continue to monitor those numbers. Because of the winds and limited visibility, Gene Autry at the Whitewater Wash is closed this morning.

By Patrick Evans Highs will climb to near 110 later today, and likely tomorrow as well. Highs pressure will keep the temps up above normal through the weekend. Plan to drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated.
