Monsoon 2017

Low hanging clouds obscure a good portion of the Rincon Moutains as a light rain falls in the Tucson area on July 11, 2017. Isolated thunderstorms may be likely today with a 30 percent chance of scattered storms this evening, according to the National Weather Service.

It's going to be a blazing couple of days, but relief is finally in sight.

Above normal temperatures continue today and ramp up tomorrow, when an Excessive Heat Warning will be in effect for many valley and lower desert locations in Pima County.

But despite the heat, moisture will be increasing in the region over the next few days, with the best chances of rain happening on Friday night and Saturday.
