.DISCUSSION...Slightly below normal temperatures today, then
warming back this weekend into next week. Expect scattered showers
and thunderstorms this afternoon into this evening mainly south
and southeast of Tucson. A decrease in thunderstorm activity is
expected this weekend as the area transitions into a low grade
monsoon pattern. An eventual uptick in monsoon activity is
possible the middle of next week but will be dependent on how
quick the high pressure aloft shifts north. Winds generally light
and under 15 mph with the exception of gusty and erratic winds up
to 35-45 mph near any thunderstorms.
