We're currently in the midst of another summer heat wave with temperatures running 5-10 degrees above average in the mountains, where a heat advisory remains in effect through Sunday. This will likely be extended into Monday as well, with an extreme heat warning in effect for the lower elevations. Expect clear skies through this evening with lows tonight in the 50s and 60s. Looking at a toasty finish to the week with highs in the upper 80s, light offshore winds 5-10 mph at times. High pressure will peak in intensity over the weekend as daytime highs top out around 90 degrees Saturday and Sunday, possibly even Monday. Overnight temperatures will also remain fairly mild with lows in the upper 50s and 60s. High pressure will weaken and shrink a bit next week as it shifts more towards the Four Corners region. This should do a couple of things: bring a gradual cooling trend, but could also open the door for monsoon moisture to increase across the region, which may lead to some afternoon thundershowers by next weekend.
