High pressure will continue to build through today, and dance around the four corners into next week. This will allow temperatures to rise to some of the warmest the state has seen all year, well above average for this time of year. This heat will persist through early next week.
Monsoon moisture will surge into the region along a very weak backdoor, bringing better chances for storms into the northeast late Friday and into Saturday. More widespread coverage will continue all weekend and even better moisture into early next week will allow for heavier storms. Flash flooding for all recent burn scars remains a threat all weekend.
