A trough swinging inland to our north today will generate gusty west winds and keep temperatures near normal for another day or two. Stronger high pressure will strengthen over the area through the end of the week, leading to warmer, summer-like weather. Mostly sunny skies today with highs in the mid-70s, southwest winds 10-20 mph during the afternoon. Fair and gradually warmer through the middle of the week as highs reach the lower to mid-80s, with overnight lows generally cool to the 40s. West winds will continue 5-15 mph during the afternoon with occasional gusts near 20 mph at times. Temperatures will remain above normal through the weekend with a few afternoon clouds, and monsoon moisture creeps into the Desert Southwest, but thunderstorm chances look minimal at this time across our area. Another trough will bring some cooling next week as our forecast stays dry.
