The weather system that brought near-record high temperatures to the state this month is on its way out.
That means there’s a good chance for cooler temperatures and thunderstorms in some parts of the state over the next several days.
National Weather Service meteorologist Jonathan Suk says these thunderstorms are just a fluke, and not an early start to the monsoon season.
"The moisture’s out of the south, which is typical of the monsoon, but none of the underlying dynamics are there," Suk said. "We’re actually cooling off back towards normal values, about 10 to 15 degrees cooler than what we’re seeing, and staying dry after Monday, through the foreseeable future."
Suk says any thunderstorms would likely be limited to the eastern part of the state, and not bring much rain — about one-tenth of an inch at most.
