Forecast Discussion:
This Monday morning's weather pattern features a trough of low pressure over the middle of the country, a ridge of high pressure over Arizona, and finally, an area of low pressure spinning about 400 miles off the coast of California. The low will slowly move eastward and through Arizona late Tuesday through Thursday; however, we expect no rainfall here in the Valley. That said, we may see some isolated thunderstorms across the High Country of Northern and Eastern Arizona.
With this weather pattern, the main weather story in the Valley of the Sun will be above-average temperatures, with highs around 100 degrees through at least Friday. Keep in mind that the average for this time of year is 93 degrees. As the low moves through the region, we expect an increase in breezes each afternoon, Wednesday through Friday.
Regarding air quality, ozone is forecast to be in the upper Moderate AQI category, with PM-10 (dust) and PM-2.5 (smoke) in the Good AQI category.
Have a great Monday!
