Strong monsoon thunderstorms hit the mountains and deserts for a third day in a row, bringing abundant lightning, heavy rain, localized flooding, small hail and strong winds. Storms are not as likely Wednesday as monsoon flow starts to weaken, but a storm or two can't be ruled out.
The marine layer will spread farther inland the rest of the week, with patchy fog possible for the morning commute as a trough of low pressure moves in from the Northwest, pushing the heat dome east.
Temperatures will drop near to 5 degrees below average Wednesday and up to 10 degrees below average Thursday and Friday! On top of the cooler weather, it will also be less humid!
