Highs will stay pretty close to normal July averages before a gradual warming trend begins next week.

Some high clouds will drift overhead as subtropical moisture moves through the Southwest, but we should remain dry with plenty of sunshine for fireworks celebrations.

Temperatures will climb fairly steadily Monday through Wednesday, with desert highs reaching 110 to 115 degrees by midweek, leading to the opportunity for moderate to major heat risk across the lower deserts.

After peaking Wednesday, temperatures are expected to ease slightly during the latter half of the week, though conditions will remain hot and slightly above average for this time of year.
