The North American Monsoon season seems to be picking up this weekend as daily highs are likely to stay below 110 while a bit of wind may move in on Saturday out of the southwest, according to a report from The National Weather Service. The late June influx of winds and their directional shift from the south and west typically indicates monsoon-like weather is just around the corner.

Friday looks to be sunny and clear with a high around 108 during the day and a low near 77 at night.

Saturday is likely to be sunny, clear and a bit breezy with a high near 109 during the day and a low around 80 at night with a mild 10 mph breeze gusting up to 25mph throughout the day.

Sunday should also be sunny and clear with a continuation of a mild breeze gusting up to 25mph while the high reaches up near 107 during the day and dips to a low of around 79 at night.

Monday looks to also be sunny and clear with a high around 107 during the day and a low near 80 at night as the breeze continues, gusting up to 20 mph throughout the day.
