IF we get enough clearing from the lingering cloud cover, we have the potential for strong afternoon and evening thunderstorms, blowing dust, and heavy rain.
Daily rounds of scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue this week. Cooler than
temperatures Monday and Wednesday then warming to above normal next weekend.
