.DISCUSSION...Expect isolated to scattered showers and
thunderstorms this afternoon into this evening mainly south and
southwest of Tucson. A decrease in thunderstorm activity is
Sunday into next week as the area transitions into a low grade
monsoon pattern. An eventual uptick in monsoon activity is
possible the middle of next week but will be dependent on how
quick the high pressure aloft shifts north. Temperatures heating
up this weekend into next week with the potential for very hot
temperatures to return the middle of next week. Winds generally
light and under 15 mph with the exception of gusty and erratic
winds up to 35-45 mph near any thunderstorms.
