Forecast for Tuesday, November 20, 2018

Over the wash and past the Saguaro to grandmother’s house we go… and there’s a chance (so you’re saying there’s a chance) that you might get sprinkled on on Thanksgiving. Maybe. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. A few high clouds out there last night for some sunset enhancement and perhaps a few for some sunrise enhancement this morning. The weak system that is currently moving through won’t do much else except drop our temperature a couple degrees tomorrow. Our next system due in here for Thanksgiving will increase the clouds ahead of it Wednesday and especially Wednesday night with a slight chance for a few sprinkles Thanksgiving Day. Then we clear our out and chill through the weekend into next week. Enjoy!

Mostly sunny today with a high in the mid 70s. Mid 40s tonight. Mid 70s tomorrow. Partly sunny Thanksgiving Day low 70s. Mostly sunny Friday upper 60s. Sunny near 70ish Saturday. Upper 60s Sunday and Monday.

Forecast for Monday, November 19, 2018

Exactly average yesterday. Well, pretty much. The high was 73 which is 1 above the average of 72 and the low was 44 which is 1 below the average of 45. Average 1 above with 1 below and you get average. Math!

A couple of systems are poised to move across Arizona this week. The first is off the southern California coast right now. It is expected to weaken as it moves across tomorrow bringing an increase in high clouds later today for possible sunset enhancement. The second is a deepening trough over the Great Basin that will likely mostly miss us to the north and east as it drops into the southern Rockies. Maybe a few snow showers for the ski area in the White Mountains, but it’s likely we will stay dry. Temperatures hanging out in the mid 70s/mid 40s through Wednesday. Low 70s and partly sunny Thanksgiving. Upper 60s Friday. Near 70 Saturday. Upper 60s Sunday. Enjoy!

Forecast for Sunday, November 18, 2018

Maybe rain and mountain snow for Thanksgiving after all! Maybe. Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Considerable high clouds blocking our view of the Leonid Meteor Shower this early morning. High clouds should start to thin by this afternoon, but hopefully some sunrise and sunset enhancement for our trouble. A weak system moves through Tuesday for a few extra clouds and then another system for Thanksgiving. The second is starting to look interesting as one of the computer models is calling for valley rain and mountain snow. We’ll see if the others start to move that way as well. Stay tuned!

Decreasing high clouds this afternoon with a high in the low 70s. Mostly clear tonight low 40s. Sunny tomorrow mid 70s. Mostly sunny Tuesday mid 70s. Sunny Wednesday low 70s. Partly sunny Thanksgiving upper 60s. Sunny upper 60s Friday and Saturday. Enjoy!

Forecast for Saturday, November 17, 2018

Cool mornings and amazingly amazing afternoons. This is why the snowbirds migrate south for the Winter. Lots of sunshine with high cloudiness from time to time. High clouds might be a bit thick at times tomorrow. No worries. We’ll probably end up with a Sun Dog posing for the cameras! I hope so. Of course sunrise and sunset enhancement is a real possibility so keep the Nikon handy. A couple of weak disturbances in the force moving through Thanksgiving week. The first one Monday/Tuesday with just a few more clouds. The second on Thanksgiving with maybe (maybe) a few sprinkles. Otherwise nice with perhaps amazing sunsets. A lot to be thankful for!

Mostly sunny today low 70s. Low 40s tonight. Low 70s tomorrow. Mid 70s Monday. Upper 70s Tuesday. low 70s ish Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.

Forecast for Friday, November 16, 2018

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

OK. I admit it. I’m fudging the numbers. The National Weather Service has today’s high at 73. Tomorrow at 71. Sunday at 71. And Monday at 73. Nope. I’m just calling it low 70s and putting 72 in the graphic. Full disclosure. I DO go with the National Weather Service (your taxpayer money at work!) by keeping the numbers in the same category (i.e. low 70s) but I prefer 72 over 71 and 73 so now you know…

A few disturbances in the force will be moving through through next week giving us a few high clouds from time to time for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. Keep your Sony, Canon, iPhone, Pixel, Samsung, One Plus cameras handy just in case. (I don’t use a case. My iPhone is so pretty) These weak systems will also keep our temperatures in the low 70s for highs and low 40s for lows through Thanksgiving. (the exception is mid 70s and mid 40s Tuesday and Tuesday night) Enjoy!
