Continued warm weather expected this week; forecasters keep eye on Edouard

Local weather forecasters are talking about the return of the monsoonal flow of air over the Southwest United States even as they watch  tropical storm Edouard.

Forecast is for highs in the low 90s this week in Albuquerque (which is about normal), with an increasing chance of moisture.

Here's a snippet from the forecast discussion:

"Upper level high pressure to the east of New Mexico will keep
abundant moisture pushing into the northwestern two thirds of the
state through the end of the week and likely beyond.
Isolated to scattered showers and storms will increase today and into Tuesday
with slow moving storms capable of heavy rainfall in isolated
locales.
Temperatures will see subtle drops and relative humidities
will see subtle increases through mid week due to increased
storms...Cloud cover...And moist outflows.
A weak back door cold front will approach the northeastern plains late Tuesday and into Wednesday morning...And this will allow dewpoints/humidities to
increase more in this area behind the shift in wind direction. "
