A tropical disturbance lifted north through our area today, generating widespread showers and thunderstorms with most locations along and east of the mountains receiving a quarter to half inch of rain, with isolated higher amounts. We remain in a moist southeast flow as monsoon moisture is drawn northward into the region. This will maintain a chance of showers and thunderstorms at times through the end of the week, especially during the afternoons. A few showers or thunderstorms are possible through tonight as lows drop into the 40s and 50s. Thunderstorm activity could be fairly widespread again tomorrow with good moisture and instability in place. Some storms will be capable of producing heavy rain, gusty winds, frequent lightning, and small hail. The monsoon flow has brought temperatures down a bit as daytime highs remain in the lower to mid-70s through Friday, while overnight lows cool to the 40s. Low pressure off the west coast this weekend will generate a stronger onshore flow with southwesterly winds aloft pushing the monsoon east of our area. This will bring a decreasing chance for afternoon convection by Saturday and Sunday. We'll even enjoy a little taste of fall-like weather next week with slightly below normal temperatures and dry weather as the monsoon flow remains east of us.
