Discussion

The monsoon will calm down a bit for the next few days and thunderstorm chances for central Arizona will greatly diminish. However, the heat is forecast to return, with daytime temperatures approaching 110°F. The National Weather Service has an Extreme Heat Warning out for Thursday through Monday. The monsoon may make a comeback by the weekend.

As for dust, dust will remain mostly locally driven through the week. But, blowing dust may be possible again later Saturday, depending on storm activity around the area.

For now, the dust risk is Low each day.

Check back again tomorrow morning of the next update.
