Today's 12-day forecast from the NWS climate group
shows for the first time the monsoon flow into Arizona.
This is nominally for the dates July 2 to 8, so perhaps
a normal start-date for the rains.  Note that at the end
of this week and into the weekend we'll have yet another
Pacific trough coming through (i.e. the dry winter pattern)
that will make it windy again.  Following this it
looks as though the summer pattern will gradually 
get set up.
     The 8- and 12-day maps are here:
