Forecast for Monday, August 6, 2018

Must survive. One. More. Day. 107 yesterday meaning the record of 108 remains. Not quite excessive heat since that threshold is 108 in these parts. Still. 109 today, if it comes true, will tie the record set in 1995. I’m thinking we’ll be just shy, but still, an EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING remains until 8:00 tonight.

The really good news is Monsoon 2018 is fixin’ to return to us! High pressure moving off to the north opening the door for more moisture by tomorrow afternoon. A couple of tropical systems south of Baja California will push a Gulf of California surge of moisture into southern Arizona. Add an inverted trough and storms should be firing starting tomorrow evening with daily activity expected through the weekend! Viva Monsoon 2018!

20% chance for storms tonight with a low near 80.

10% chance tomorrow near 104ish. 30% tomorrow night upper 70s. 20%/40% Wednesday 98. 20%/40% Thursday 96. 30%/50% Friday 95. 30%/40% Saturday 94. 20% Sunday 95.
