More Smoke, Isolated Thunderstorms this week

High pressure over the Great Basin for the start of the workweek, will keep us under the influence of smoky skies and scattered thunderstorms. We have a low pressure center over the Pacific Northwest, enhancing our southwest flow. This will lead to warmer temps, with highs into the 90's, gusty afternoon winds and monsoonal thunderstorms from the south.

Monday, smoky with increasing afternoon clouds. A slight chance of thunderstorms, with highs into the lower 90's. Winds 10-20 MPH for the afternoon and evening.

Tuesday, chance of thunderstorms with smoky and hazy skies. Highs into the upper 80's. Winds at 10-20 MPH.

Wednesday, a few mountain thunderstorms with more smoke and haze. Highs into the upper 80's and lower 90's for the Snake River Plain.
