Humidity continues and rain chances still remain in the forecast for now

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY-TV) - Active storms moved in overnight and brought light rain, lightning, thunder, and winds this morning in the Desert Southwest. Take a look below at this really cool picture of lighting that lit up our skies this morning.

Finally, the Desert Southwest received some measurable rain within both Yuma and Imperial Counties.

Rain totals were pretty small as some areas received rain totals between one hundreth and a little over a tenth of an inch. Plus, there were gusts between 35-39 MPH that were also recorded.

A ridge of high pressure will continue to steer moisture from the south and into the Desert Southwest bringing potential for showers and storms.

The extra moisture will keep our dew points in the 60s and even 70s which will make us feel hotter and sticky.

There are still chances for isolated and scattered showers and storms to develop in the Desert Southwest through Thursday morning.

With these storms there are risks for heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty winds.

Temperatures are expected to be closer to seasonal levels for the next couple of days and we will heat back up and somewhat dry things out later in the week.

There are small rain chances again for Saturday, I will be watching and tracking very closely.
