The wider storm

A large area of upper high pressure strengthened over the Desert Southwest region on July 21 and brought a period of dangerous heat to much of the area between July 21 and July 23. The ridge weakened by July 24 which allowed for a slight cooling trend to take place by July 25. Although temperatures remained above daily climatological normals for several days afterwards, temperatures remained below dangerous heat levels.
