The monsoon muggy air continues to elude Arizona today. But hope is on the way! High pressure to the south today shifts east as we head towards the weekend. This opens the door for some storms to move into Cochise County. But a bigger push of the monsoon is happening next week as a wave of tropical moisture combines with a better monsoon set-up. Temperatures staying above normal through the week, but as the moisture increases our temperatures "cool" to normal! - First Alert Weather Team.
