Forecast for Tuesday, November 26, 2019

A major Winter storm is forming and will be making a Thanksgiving visit. Always nice to have guests drop by for a festive feast! It’s a cold storm and the main headline will be the massive snow totals above 7,000 feet. Could see 3 feet of snow at Ski Valley!!! Winds gusting 50 to 60 mph in the high country could lead to white out conditions at times. Not to mention falling trees to go with their sideways snow. If it weren’t for Rudolph, Thanksgiving might be cancelled. (sorry. I got ahead of myself there) Honorable mention weather headline goes to Cochise County. Lots of moisture being pulled northward ahead of the system. A cold front approacheth and should move through today. The combination could bring heavy rain east of Tucson. Just be aware if you are heading that way. Today’s aforementioned front will chill us out a bit in Tucson with a high about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday. A few showers out there this morning that should end by 8:00 a.m., so there’s that.

Increasing clouds tonight with a low near 40ish.

Mostly cloudy with a few showers around tomorrow upper 60s. Cloudy tomorrow night and Thanksgiving with a 50% chance for rain. Thursday’s high in the mid 60s.

Prime time for our storm should be Thursday night into Friday morning. A WINTER STORM WATCH for Summerhaven starting at 6:00 p.m. Thursday until Midnight Friday night. Summerhaven could see half a foot to a foot of snow along with those 50-60 mph winds.

Looks like a good soaking for us lowlanders. Blustery Thursday night and Friday with rain, heavy at times, possible. Valley locations looking for an inch to an inch and a half of rain. Amazon Prime is looking good for Black Friday! Nothing like shopping in the comfort of your own home while others hydroplane to Best Buy for that 75″ TV on sale for $400. (wait. Is that a thing?) Friday’s high in the upper 50s.

The rain will mainly be on the wane Saturday becoming mostly sunny with a high in the upper 50s. A slow warming trend Sunday and Monday with sunshine and highs mid to upper 60s respectively. Stay tuned. We’ll keep you updated as the storm gets closer. What else do I have to do at 5:00 in the morning? 🙂

Forecast for Sunday, March 10, 2019

Before we get to the forecast, you might be wondering about my absence yesterday. Here’s a cool story. I drive for Uber to help make ends meet. So Friday night a little after 6:00 I pick up this guy who wants to Uber to… wait for it… Escondido, California! 6 hours later I drop the guy off and head over to my brother’s place who lives about 20 minutes from there. My brother and I went to see the ocean, had a nice lunch, and generally got to hang out. I hadn’t seen him in a few years. It was a blast and I made $400! I drove back last night, so let’s get into this forecast thing that we do. Winter is returning…

Sunny today and pleasant enough with high clouds streaming through as our storm approacheth. Rain chances start as early as tonight with prime time for the storm being tomorrow night and Tuesday. Could see some thunderstorms thrown in! That would be epic. A disturbance in the force rotating through behind the storm will keep rain chances going through Wednesday. Meanwhile, in the mountains… the National Weather Service has issued a WINTER STORM WATCH above 6,500 feet from 8:00 tomorrow night until 8:00 Tuesday night. So. If you are above 6,500 feet watch for winter weather. Additionally (furthermore) snow levels are likely to drop down to 5,000 feet or so before we are done. We could see several inches of snow there as well. For us? Storm totals could exceed an inch for those lucky enough to get a thunderstorm or two. Otherwise rain totals should be .30″ to .75″ or so. Stay tuned!

Mostly sunny today with a high in the low 70s. Partly cloudy tonight with a 20% chance for showers and a low in the mid 40s. 20% tomorrow low 70s. 90% chance for showers and possibly a thunderstorm tomorrow night mid 40s. 70% chance for showers and possibly a thunderstorm Tuesday upper 50s. 30% Tuesday night low 40s. 30% Wednesday near 60ish. Sunny Thursday mid 60s. Near 70ish Friday. Low 70s Saturday. Enjoy!
