Forecast Discussion:

Over the next several days, the monsoon will return to an active phase for southeastern Arizona. This means daily chances for thunderstorms in/around Nogales. Sunday afternoon/evening in particular looks to be a noteworthy time of greater thunderstorm coverage over the area. And if Sunday ends up being very active, Monday could be more of a "down" day for thunderstorm activity, as the atmosphere as to reload, as it were. For any thunderstorm that develops, clouds, gusty winds, and/or heavy rain can be expected, along with hazards such as lightning and blowing dust (prior to any rain).

For Nogales' air quality, both PM10 (dust) and PM2.5 (smoke) are forecast in the Good AQI category each day. Though we can't rule out dust from gusty winds, any rain will help to decrease both pollutants.

Check back on Monday for the latest!
