Forecast for Thursday, August 10, 2017
Monsoon 2017 is back!!! A few showers around yesterday and I woke up to a bit of light rain (half the calories of our regular rain) on the deck this morning. High pressure is now centered in Texas. The moisture has returned and a couple of disturbances in the force riding north will help trigger scattered storms this afternoon and evening. This weekend looks the most active for storms with storm chances decreasing, but still continuing into next week. Viva Monsoon 2017!
Becoming partly cloudy today with scattered afternoon and evening storms and a high near 102.
Scattered storms tonight with a low in the upper 70s.
Scattered storms tomorrow 101ish. Scattered storms Saturday 99. 50% chance of storms Sunday 96. 20% chance of storms Monday 96. 20% chance of storms Tuesday 98. 10% chance Wednesday 99.

Still on the hot side for a few more days, but good news is on the southern horizon Monsoon lovers! A huge thunderstorm complex overnight in Mexico has pushed moisture our way giving our border areas a chance for scattered storms this afternoon and evening (I’m looking at you Santa Cruz County). An isolated storm or two is possible for the Metro, hopefully near you. Storm chances continue to ramp up as we head toward the weekend with scattered to numerous storms possible Saturday and Sunday and maybe we’ll even bring back the locally heavy rainfall. Viva Monsoon 2017!
