YUMA, Arizona (KYMA, KECY-TV) – Temperatures will remain seasonal for now, but the dew point will be above 15 degrees, which will give us a slightly warmer feeling.
Moisture from the south will continue to flow into the desert southwest, bringing humidity and there is still a chance of rain.
In addition, a low pressure system will approach the desert in the southwest and bring further changes in the coming days.
Isolated showers are still possible overnight and tomorrow morning.
When storms form, there is a risk of heavy rain, lightning and gusty winds.
Humidity will persist and we will need to be alert to approaching storms over the weekend.
There will be rapid warming on Friday and Saturday, then it will cool down to average temperatures on Sunday and there will be windier weather.
