We continue to enjoy nice weather courtesy of troughing along the West Coast, which will maintain breezy afternoons and slightly below normal temperatures through the end of the week. High pressure will slowly build northward over the Independence holiday weekend, leading to warmer temperatures and dry conditions into next week. Looking a a gorgeous day out there today under sunny skies as highs reach the mid 70s, west winds 5-10 mph during the afternoon.. Little change through the end of the week as daytime highs reach the upper 70s on Friday, while overnight lows cool to the 40s. As this ridge begins to amplify this weekend, temperatures will increase with daytime highs back up around 80 degrees, on July 4th and 5th. Longer range keeps us under ridging through next week for slightly above normal temperatures and dry weather for now. There are some hints in the long-range guidance of monsoon moisture increasing later next week across the Desert Southwest, even an easterly wave drifting into Arizona, but this remains to be seen.
