Forecast for Wednesday, June 14, 2017

Just beautiful again this morning!  High pressure is starting to move back in and we’ll be back in the triple digits this afternoon.  Some high cloudiness possible later today and tonight for possible sunset enhancement.  As the center of the high gets closer we will get hotter.  EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING is now in effect for Saturday and will likely be issued for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday as we get closer.  Dad won’t even need charcoal for the grill Sunday!  Just hold the steaks in the air for awhile.  They’ll cook up just fine.  Moisture may be on the increase Monday and Tuesday so we’ll keep an eye whether that will bring a few storms to the weather.  Stay tuned!

Forecast for Tuesday, June 13, 2017

Refreshingly cool on the deck this morning with 65 degrees on both my thermometer and officially at the Tucson International Airport.  Very nice with my first cup of coffee and first light of day!  One more “cool” day and morning before we all scurry in to our AC to avoid the scorching Sun.  Our average high for this time of year is 100 and yesterday’s 96 and today’s expected 98 is pretty nice considering.  High pressure building in will have us melting or bursting into flames if we don’t stay hydrated and take other safety precautions.  We all remember the hikers that died in the heat last year, so even though I like to have some fun with stuff, please take it seriously enough to live!  An EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH is in effect Saturday, Sunday and Monday so watch for excessive heat.  We could be in the 1-teens, so yeah, excessive.  Enough moisture next week for a few storms?  We’ll keep an eye on it and keep you posted.

Sunny today with a high in the upper 90s.

Clear skies tonight with a low in the mid 60s.

Sunny tomorrow near 104ish.  107 Thursday.  108 Friday.  109 Saturday.  111 Father’s Day.  114 Monday.

Forecast for Sunday, June 11, 2017

Storm moving into Nevada today and the close proximity thereof will kick up our winds this afternoon.  The National Weather service has issues a RED FLAG WARNING from Noon until 7:00 this evening, so please, in the name of all that is right and good, if you smoke keep your butt in the car!  Also, be careful setting stuff on fire.  There are a few fires still burning from lightning strikes last week, so hopefully those won’t get too outta hand.  Cooler and a bit breezy tomorrow and then we start to warm up.  Like real deal heat.  110ish anyone?!  Yikes!  I’ll keep you posted.
