A Blowing Dust Advisory is in effect for Eastern Pima County/Tucson
Metro, Tohono Oʼodham Nation, Santa Cruz and SE Pinal Counties from 2 PM to 8 PM on Tuesday. Due to strong thunderstorms and outflow winds, visibility will be low during this period.
The early season monsoonal activity will peak on Wednesday and Thursday. For July 4th, there is still some opportunity to see rain and thunderstorm activity with much less coverage compared to Wednesday and Thursday as a lower grade monsoon pattern develops.
