Tracking thunderstorms in the desert

Moisture will be sticking with us through tonight and into the beginning of the work week. Some gradual drying will take place with each day through much of the work week.

Monday will have many of the same conditions as Sunday, so there is another chance for some more cumulus clouds and thunderstorms. Well over half an inch of rain fell in the El Paseo area of Palm Desert on Sunday, so it's important to remember that it is NEVER safe to drive over a flooded roadway. Turn around and don't drown.

Thanks to the elevated moisture, temperatures will struggle to rise yet again. We will see an afternoon high at or below 110 degrees, but it will be quite humid.

Temperatures for this upcoming week will be much more reasonable than what we have been feeling over the last few weeks. Highs will vary a bit day by day but should stay within a few degrees of 110 for most of the week. Some slightly warmer temperatures are in store for next weekend.
