Chance for mountain/desert storms continues through weekend

Showers and thunderstorms developed across San Bernardino and Riverside county mountains once again this afternoon. Less activity spotted on radar as we head through the evening hours, except in Arizona. The AX storms will be monitored as they near the California border and potentially move into the High Desert later tonight.

Genevieve continues to weaken as it moves northwest into cooler ocean water. Tropical moisture from this system is aiding in the stormy and humid conditions today and Saturday.

The ridge of high pressure that's been in place over the desert southwest since last week still remains but it is weaker. Temperatures won't be excessive this weekend like they were at the beginning of the week.

The ridge will strengthen however by the middle of next week. So what does that mean?
Pro = not as humid. Con = temperatures will warm 5-7° above normal.
