Forecast for Friday, August 25, 2017

High pressure over northern Arizona and the Great Basin. Normally during Monsoon that would mean storms forming in the White Mountains would move off the Mogollon Rim and come get us. Unfortunately the moisture just isn’t there today for that. Looking slightly better for tomorrow so we’ll see. Otherwise low grade Monsoon continues with temperatures a few degrees above average for this time of year.

Sunny today near 100.

Slight chance of an isolated storm maybe with a low in the mid 70s.

20% chance of afternoon and evening storms tomorrow near 100. 10% chance for storms Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with highs near 101, 100, 100 and 100 respectively. Sunny Thursday with a high near 100ish.

Forecast for Thursday, August 24, 2017

A nice steady light to moderate rain yesterday over the area. I could have used a downpour but I’ll take it. It was nice. Refreshingly cool again this morning. We are settling into a “low grade” Monsoon pattern which means storms few and far between, but still a slight chance of a storm near you. Enjoy!

Mostly sunny today with a slight chance of a storm and a high near 99.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the low 70s.

Slight chance of an isolated storm tomorrow, Saturday and Sunday 102. Slight chance for a storm Monday 101. Slight chance for a storm Tuesday and Wednesday near 100ish.

Forecast for Wednesday, August 23, 2017

Monsoon 2017 is baaaaack! Just for a day visit, but if the forecast comes true it could be an active day. High pressure to our east and weak low pressure to our west should funnel moisture, and a disturbance in the force, our way for a good chance at numerous storms this afternoon and evening. Blowing dust may result NW of town so be aware if you are heading that way this evening. Storm chances continue into the night tonight before finally clearing up by tomorrow morning. Then slight storms chances Thursday into early next week. Viva Monsoon 2017!

Becoming partly sunny today with a good chance for storms and a high near 100.

Mostly cloudy tonight with a good chance for storms and a low in the mid 70s.

Just a 10% chance for storms Thursday through Monday with highs of 99, 102, 103, 103, and 102 respectively. 20% chance for storms Tuesday 101.

Forecast for Tuesday, August 22, 2017

Kinda hot today, but a SE flow will bring us moisture and a decent shot at scattered storms tomorrow afternoon into Thursday morning. After that storm chances get depressed again. It seems like Monsoon 2017 may be winding down early even though we have a month to go. Even if that is the case it’s been an amazing year as evidenced by how green and overgrown everything is. If we can get another downpour or two before the season ends, I am good!

Sunny near 103 this afternoon.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low near 75.

Scattered storms tomorrow afternoon and evening with a high near 98. A slight chance of an isolated storm Thursday (let’s be real, it ain’t gonna happen) with a high near 99. Mostly sunny Friday 99. 102 Saturday and Sunday. 10% chance of a storm Monday 102.

Forecast for Monday, August 21, 2017

Happy National Eclipse Day! or maybe, Everyone Goes Blind Day. You’ve heard all the warnings about looking directly at the Sun, so I figure you are a smart enough to handle your business. Great viewing weather with 59% of the Sun being eaten by a dragon at 10:36 this morning. The devouring starts at 10:19 so get your legit solar glasses ready or your DIY pinhole contraptions. Weatherwise, we have a SW flow aloft and therefore not enough moisture for a bunch of storms. Just a 10% chance of an isolated storm. So you’re saying there’s a chance! No. No I’m not. Skunksville until Wednesday and Thursday when winds come around to the SE. (they are bound to come around at some point) Enjoy!

Mostly sunny with a slight chance for an isolated storm and a high in the low 90s.

Mostly clear tonight with an isolated storm barely possible and a low in the low 70s.

Mostly tomorrow with a 10% chance of a storm and a high near 100. Scattered storms Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the upper 90s. 10% chance for storms Friday 100. 20% chance for storms Saturday and Sunday 101.
