Looking at more warm weather ahead this week, with temperatures running 5-10 degrees above average. A 597dm ridge will slowly shift north and east of our area to allow for some cooling as the week progresses. This may also open the door for monsoon moisture to trickle into the region later this week. Expect mostly clear skies through Tuesday as highs top out in the upper 80s again with southwest winds 10-20 mph at times, especially during the afternoon. We'll start to see some afternoon clouds through the middle of the week as the flow increases from the southeast. Increasing clouds and humidity may also help bring temperatures down just a tad, with highs in the mid-80s. By the end of the week, a deeper southeast flow will develop with isolated to scattered afternoon convection possible. Temperatures will remain a good 5 degrees above average through next weekend with a chance of afternoon thundershowers.
