Technically, monsoon season began on June 15 and will end on Sept. 30. But just because the area finds itself in the midst of monsoon season, that doesn’t mean it will see the monsoonal moisture that normally accompanies it, NWS meteorologist Matthew Davies said. Case in point, Davies said that while there is currently a high-pressure system over the Four Corners area, it could just bring scattered showers across northern Arizona. The drier monsoons are in line with weather predictions earlier this year that suggested that after such a cold and wet winter and spring, there was an increased chance for a drier monsoon season. Davies said residents may still see hot temperatures, especially as those southwestern winds push moisture out.
