Forecast for Sunday, November 24, 2019

Unsettled weather heading our way for the Thanksgiving holiday which may be unsettling for some. Quoting the National Weather Service, “significant mountain snow” is possible from this next storm! Skiers in the western U.S. are stoked! Travelers maybe less so, especially those traversing the high country. While it may be hard to stop a Trane, it’s even more difficult to stop a storm. Might as well enjoy!

While we wait for our guest to arrive we will continue with the variable high cloudiness. Mostly sunny today and lovely with a high in the mid 70s.

More clouds tonight with a low in the upper 40s. Call it partly sunny tomorrow near 70ish. Mostly sunny Tuesday mid 60s.

Showers increasing as our storm approacheth Tuesday night and Wednesday with a high in the upper 60s.

Thanksgiving looks blustery with a 50% chance for showers and breezy. High in the mid 60s.

Showers likely Friday and quite cool with snow levels crashing. 70% chance for valley rain and a high in the mid 50s.

Partly sunny with leftover showers on Saturday upper 60s. Good times ahead! For which I am already thankful 🙂

Forecast for Saturday, November 23, 2019

It’s the calm before the storms. Thanksgiving is looking wet, but not quite cool enough for cold turkey in my estimation. Still. Snow levels dropping by next weekend, but we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it (you know, to stay warm).

High clouds from time to time today to filter the sunshine and perhaps provide sunrise and sunset enhancement! Very nice this afternoon with a high near 70ish. Also. Tour de Tucson, so you’ll probably be barricaded in your domicile anyway lest you get stuck at a random intersection for 20 minutes. Don’t ask me how I know that 🙂

Considerable high cloudiness tonight with a low in the mid 40s.

Sunshine tomorrow mid 70s! Partly sunny Monday low 70s.

Then it starts to get interesting! Still a lot of details up in the air (see what I did there?), but the gist is this… The low currently to our southwest that is throwing high clouds our way will weaken and move through the area Tuesday night and Wednesday with a 20% to 30% chance for showers respectively. Wednesday’s high in the upper 60s.

Then a stronger and colder system carves a deep trough across the western United States like your Momma carves a turkey. The low will initially drop into southern California before it heads our way spreading rain, mountain snow, and Black Friday deals on umbrellas across the region. Mostly cloudy and breezy on Thanksgiving as a result with a 40% chance for showers and a high in the upper 60s.

A 50% chance for showers and breezy on Friday with a high in the mid 60s. Rain chances and falling snow levels in the offing (what is an offing? asking for a friend) next weekend, but that is beyond the 7 day purview of this forecast, so we’ll all just have to take a wait and see attitude. And of course, Stay Tuned!

Forecast for Friday, November 22, 2019

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

That was fun! 1.33″ of rain in the last 3 days! We are now over an inch above average for the year. It’s good to be above average!

Storms have skedaddled for now and a warming trend will bring us to near average highs this weekend (71 for this time of year). Lows the next 2 mornings will be, yes, chilly (mmm chili). Or brisk if you are growing weary of chili every morning. 🙂 Rain for Thanksgiving? It’s looking like it… Here’s Mike with your forecast.

(best announcer voice) Sunny today after a cool start in the mid 40s. This afternoon’s high in the mid 60s.

Clear skies at night with a low in the low 40s.

Tons of Sun this weekend with a high near 70ish tomorrow and low 70s Sunday. Low 70s on Monday too.

A few more clouds and a bit cooler Tuesday as our next storm system approacheth. High in the upper 60s. Isolated showers Wednesday upper 60s. Scattered showers Thanksgiving day mid 60s. Keep it locked on Tucson Weather for your daily weather fix.

Forecast for Thursday, November 21, 2019

It’s Friday Eve! (makes the weekend seem closer)

Record rainfall yesterday! (see previous post) Already about a half inch of rain since midnight with showers still lurking this morning. (see future post) This Winter is off to an amazing start and it’s not even Winter yet 🙂

The FLASH FLOOD WATCH expires at 8:00 this morning as our storm will be winding down tonight. The WINTER STORM WARNING for Summerhaven is in effect until 11:00 tonight. Nearly a foot to a foot and a half of snow possible in them there hills! Meanwhile back at the ranch, rain in the forecast today as the main low currently located in NW AZ moves through along with a cold front. A thunderstorm is possible too, hopefully near you! Yes, it’ll be chilly (mmm chili) with a high only in the upper 50s!

Shower chances hangin’ in there before midnight tonight and then just mostly cloudy and cool with a low in the mid 40s.

Sunshine returns tomorrow with a bit of a warming trend through the weekend. Low 60s tomorrow. Upper 60s to near 70 Saturday. Low 70s Sunday and Monday. Upper 60s Tuesday.

Forecast for Wednesday, November 20, 2019

Mike Mike Mike. What day is it Mike? If you said, a blustery day, you would be correct! More on that in a few sentences.

Just over a third of an inch of rain yesterday at the International Airport. Your individual rain totals from yesterday may vary of course. Visit rainlog.org after 7:00 a.m. to get the latest amounts near you.

Our first storm will still be messing with us today with showers and gusty winds. SSW breezes gusting near 35 mph at times! Hold on to your hat, put rocks in your pockets, skirt alert, etc. Perhaps extra hairspray or gel as well. (do people still do that?) Only upper 60s this afternoon, so grab a jacket, preferably your own.

As our first storm departeth our second approacheth. This one is colder and will bring mountain snows down to 7,000 feet tonight. A couple few inches of snow for Summerhaven possible overnight with rain, heavy at times for bottom dwellers. Down near 50ish for a low,

Showers likely tomorrow with mountain snow. High only in the upper 50s. Showers continue tomorrow night with a low in the mid 40s.

Then our second storm leaves us and we think maybe it’s moving on just a little too easily. What about our need for rain and mountain snow? don’t you care?! (clears throat) Sorry. Where was I? Oh yeah. Clearing up Friday and the Sun returns to us! Low 60s by afternoon. Partly cloudy Friday night with a low in the low 40s Saturday morning. (mmm chili)

Mostly sunny Saturday upper 60s. Low 70s Sunday. Upper 60s Monday. Low 60s Tuesday. Will we see another storm next week. Stay tuned!
