Monsoonal moisture from the SE continues to pour into our District. This will assist with cooling as high pressure dominates. There is a ongoing chance of heavy, isolated downpours here and there. Debris clouds will continue to pass overhead, making accurate temperature prediction a challenge. This moisture will be a factor through Thursday, then begin to diminish on Friday, as a trough pattern sets up off the coast. This will keep temperatures in the normal range over the weekend. Sill though, a lingering a chance of thunderstorms as well, through Saturday and Sunday.
