Cooling off to start the week

We'll start off a rather wet week with rain chances in the 40%-50% range along with mostly cloudy skies. Temperatures will be a bit cooler than normal, with valley locations falling to the high-80's and low-90's.

Tuesday is when we'll see even more of a decline in our temperatures, with some southern valleys only forecasting to be in the 70's. Southern valleys are also forecasting for heavy rain on Tuesday afternoon, so keep an eye out for potential flash flood advisories from the National Weather Service.

The North American monsoon will stay strong throughout the week which means showers and thunderstorms each and every afternoon. The cooler Tuesday temperatures won't continue for the entire week, but we'll likely enjoy cooler-than-average temperatures until Friday.
