Weather Story

A few more clouds today and northwesterly breezes will keep temperatures slightly cooler today across the region, but high pressure building in over the next few days will turn the heat up a few degrees by Friday.

Deep monsoonal moisture moves in by the weekend with showers and heavier clouds to drop the daily highs five to ten degrees.
