By Friday, a lot more rainfall will surge into the state as high pressure moves east. This will allow for a lot better coverage of thunderstorms throughout the weekend ahead. Flash flooding remains a concern all weekend, especially over the fresh burn scars.
High pressure sitting near Texas and a low pressure system sitting off the Pacific Northwest will combine to bring significant monsoon moisture throughout the Fourth of July weekend ahead. An umbrella will most likely be necessary for any outdoor activities in the afternoon and evening.
