Tracking warm temps, increasing clouds, and stronger winds

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY-TV) - High pressure across the region will continue to slowly weaken the next several days, but we will still have temperatures trending 5°+ above normal with highs in the upper 70s and even reach 80.

We will have westerly winds moving in tomorrow bringing in stronger winds across the Desert Southwest with gusts between 20-30 MPH. Stronger winds will favor in Imperial County.

Occasional breeziness will also linger throughout the weekend too.

We will have increasing clouds starting tomorrow and through the weekend, but no rain is expected as dry conditions will persist for the next several days. Overall it will be a great weekend for the Yuma Silver Spur Rodeo and the Super Bowl this weekend.

Temperatures will cool down to our seasonal averages by next Tuesday.

HEADS UP! We might see some in the future? The newest 6-10 Day Precipitation Outlook from the Climate Prediction Center has the Desert Southwest tilted toward higher chances of seeing wetter-than-normal conditions late next week! Let's see! Stay tuned for updates.

We definitely NEED rain. Take a look at our latest drought monitor about 39% of the state of Arizona is under extreme drought, which is 18% higher than last week.
