THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE LATE NEXT WEEK AS MOISTURE INCREASES ACROSS THE AREA. && .DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT CENTERED WEST OF THE BAJA SPUR IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC OCEAN WILL SLOWLY SHIFT NORTH/NORTHEAST THROUGH TUESDAY.

THE FORECASTED HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR TUCSON NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ARE 108...WHICH WOULD TIE THE WARMEST THAT THE TUCSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HAS REACHED SO FAR THIS YEAR. AS THE HIGH SHIFTS NORTH AND AMPLIFIES NEXT WEEK...THIS WILL ALLOW DEEPER MOISTURE TO OUR SOUTH AND ESPECIALLY OUR EAST TO BEGIN TO PUSH INTO THE REGION.
