That will change by midweek next week as a strong area of high pressure shifts over the Interior West, bringing hot and dry conditions to the area. High based showers and thunderstorms will bring the threat for gusty and erratic microburst winds, particularly Saturday afternoon and evening. Good to excellent mixing is expected through at least Tuesday. .TODAY... Sky/weather.........Mostly sunny (15-25 percent cloud cover) then becoming partly cloudy (40-50 percent cloud cover).
