Well that escalated quickly! A FLASH FLOOD WATCH this afternoon?! Yep. But it’s not quite the good news that it sounds like. I mean, it IS good news that scattered showers and storms are in the forecast! However, it is because of the Bighorn Fire that the National Weather Service has issued the watch. The burn scars could mean runoff issues from any downpours that pour on the mountain. So yay! scattered showers and storms! But… the fire and its aftermath will likely continue to be an issue as we enter Monsoon 2020…

Increased moisture means scattered showers and storms this afternoon with partly sunny skies. Mid 90s this afternoon along with a FLASH FLOOD WATCH from 1:00 until 8:00. Showers ending tonight mid 70s. Mostly sunny tomorrow 100ish. 104 for the 4th. 105 Sunday. 104 Monday. 10% chance for storms Tuesday 103. Mostly sunny Wednesday 104. Enjoy!
