After a notable stretch of record-breaking heat across the western U.S. through mid-march, multiple storms moving into the region will bring cooler and wet weather to end the month, AccuWeather meteorologists say.
Additional daily record highs can be set on Sunday across the Southwest as the heat continues to build into the region. Daytime highs can top out from 15-25 degrees Fahrenheit above the historical average for the end of March.
Three storms to bring an end to the heat
The first of three storms that will help put an end to the stretch of heat will impact portions of the Four Corner States through Monday as moisture drawing northward will promote spotty afternoon thunderstorms.
"This setup may mimic the early stages of the North American monsoon, but it is too early in the season for the monsoon pattern to take hold and persist," said AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski.
