Forecast discussion…
Forecast highlights…
*** A chance for an afternoon shower or thunderstorm Sunday afternoon. ***
*** A better chance for afternoon showers and thunderstorms Monday through Wednesday. ***
*** And then warm and dry weather for a while, more typical for June. ***
Rest of Sunday through Wednesday…. Sunday there isn’t much moisture but we’re still unstable. Expect just a few spotty afternoon showers and thunderstorms mostly over the mountains.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday there will be a slight increase in moisture and instability leading to a better chance for scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday up to 0.10” is possible each day.
Temps… Highs will be in the mid-70s to low 80s and lows will be in the high 30s to high 40s.
Winds… Afternoon gusts will be around 20mph, but isolated stronger gusts are possible near showers and thunderstorms.
Thursday through next weekend… Drier, more stable air will move in. It will be warm with lots of sun, and dry weather.
Temps… Thursday highs will be in the mid-70s to mid-80s and lows will be in the high 30s to high 40s. Friday, Saturday and Sunday highs will be near 80 to near 90 and lows will be near 40 to the high 40s.
Winds… Afternoon gusts will be around 20mph.
The 8-14 day period… More typical for this time of year, fairly stable and drier southwest flow will set up. There’s still a slight chance for a spotty afternoon shower or thunderstorm, but I expect most of us to stay dry.
The next post will be on Tuesday.

As of 3:15 today (Sunday) it has been pouring on Aspenglow! This feels like the monsoon already!
Wonderful!!! Thank you for the report! We have only had .02″. I know it feels like the monsoon to me to. But this moisture is associated with systems from the north and the not the southerly sub tropical ridge. It looks like it will set up by the end of June. The true monsoon showers should visit us the last week of June.
