Finally, after weeks of 90°+ temperatures in the Gallup/Jamestown, New Mexico area, this week the temperatures will be below 90°.

At least that's according to the National Weather Service. 

We are expecting more thunderstorm activity as we're in monsoon season. That's alright as far as I am concerned.
