High pressure aloft will expand over the Southwest early this week, bringing hotter days. Increasing moisture from the southeast will mean more high cloudiness and an increasing chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly in the afternoons and early evenings over the mountains and deserts. The chance of strong thunderstorms looks to be greatest on Wednesday, and possibly again on Thursday afternoon. Dry weather will likely return by next weekend.
