Tracking cool and cloudy for Labor Day weekend with a chance for some showers
Tracking slightly cooler than normal temperatures for the holiday day weekend. We are also in for more clouds and some humidity with a chance for showers being possible.
YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - Today has been another fantastic day with slightly below-average and dry conditions. Great weather ahead of Labor Day weekend!
For the rest of our Friday, it will be wonderful, as temperatures will continue to cool down nicely along with dew points staying low and dry. We are in for an enjoyable Friday night to spend some time on the patio and outdoors.
For those in Imperial County, it will be a little gusty and dusty tonight, as I am tracking strong westerly winds and gusts between 20-30 MPH. Blowing dust is also possible. It will be breezy within Yuma County, but nothing too overly gusty.
I am tracking much lighter winds for the weekend across the Desert Southwest.
A current lower-pressure system is keeping our temperatures a little cooler than normal, but may pick up some tropical moisture from the south and steer into the Desert Southwest this weekend and next week.
TRACKING THE TROPICS: Hurricane Marie is still a Category 2 hurricane. Marie's path is still traveling west/northwest. Marie will continue to weaken in the Pacific waters in the coming days. Marie isn't expected to reach land, but may bring some tropical moisture to the United States for Labor Day weekend and possibly next week.
So no, Marie isn't coming to the United States, but may boost in some moisture from a far.
I am also tracking increasing cloud cover, as we will have mostly cloudy to cloudy skies through the weekend. Humidity will also rise through the weekend, making it feel a little sticky.
As we look at our future track hour-by-hour, our map is showing some shower activity around lunchtime for Saturday. I am tracking showers to be light, and not everyone will see rain. I am continuing to track showers still being possible into Sunday.
As far as rain totals are looking, not every spot will see or get measurable rain, and right now totals are looking very light for areas that may see get rain this weekend.
If you are doing some traveling this weekend for Labor Day, here is your travel forecast. Heads up if you are going to the beach, there is a high surf advisory, and there's a coastal flood advisory in San Diego.
Tracking slightly cooler temperatures, as highs will be in the low 100s. We will also have cloudy conditions throughout and increasing humidity. There are slight chances of showers through the weekend. Have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!
Temperatures will be slightly warmer at the start of the week, only to cool back down as higher rain chances increase on Wednesday and Thursday.
