Heating Up This Week

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will likely develop over the high terrain NE of Phoenix this afternoon. An outflow is expected to descend into the lower deserts by the late afternoon/early evening potentially triggering new storms. There is a 20-30% for storms this evening for the Phoenix Metro. The main concerns will be gusty winds and blowing dust.

High pressure will center itself approximately over El Paso, expand, and strengthen later this week, leading to warming temperatures across the region. Major HeatRisk will become fairly widespread across the lower deserts late week and will very likely persist through the weekend. Plan accordingly for the dangerously hot temperatures ahead!
