A gradual drying trend is anticipated across south-central Arizona into southeast California the next couple of days. This will occur as high pressure shifts from our east to our west. There will still be enough moisture through the holiday weekend to give a slight chance of thunderstorms over most of south-central and southwest Arizona, but this will become limited to the higher terrain east of Phoenix by Monday as the drying continues. Meanwhile, daytime temperatures are expected be several degrees above early-July normals through next week.
