What has our attention right now is that models are hinting at the possibility of the Valley's first dust storm(s) of the season. Strong thunderstorm outflow winds may be possible each day Tuesday through Thursday. And Tuesday and Wednesday may see those winds out of the southeast--in other words--where the greatest dust source is.

As always, we'll have to take this one day at a time, as the smaller details of monsoonal thunderstorms are difficult to pin down in advance.
But for now, we have raised the dust risk to High for Tuesday and Wednesday, and Moderate for Thursday.
