Forecast for Monday, July 3, 2017

So you’re saying there’s a chance!  Dewpoints our in the mid 50s this morning which is good and maybe they’ll stick around for a slight chance of a storm or two this afternoon and evening, although the better chance will be south and east of Tucson.  I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news.  High pressure to our south will be heading north towards the Four Corners over the next couple of days.  Better storms chances as a result Thursday through the weekend, but it will also mean higher highs.  Stay hydrated and stay tuned!

Mostly sunny today with a slight chance for an afternoon storm and a high near 104.

Partly cloudy tonight with a slightly better chance for a storm or two, hopefully near you, before midnight and a low in the upper 70s.

Sunny for the 4th with a high near 104.  105 Wednesday.  About a 20% chance for storms Thursday through Sunday with highs near 107, 107, 105 and 104 respectively.

Forecast for Sunday, July 2, 2017

Monsoon 2017 finally showing some signs of life!  Moisture on the increase this afternoon will give us a slight chance for storms with a better chance tomorrow.  A bit of a break for the 4th and 5th with best storm chances in the mountains but perhaps one or two will come down and visit.  Hopefully near you!  Moisture and storm chances remain in the forecast the rest of the week.  Let’s get this party started!

Mostly sunny today with a slight chance of an isolated storm or two.  Gusty winds this afternoon from any storms that form in the area and from storms to our SE.  High near 105.

Breezy and partly cloudy this evening with a chance for a few storms before midnight.  Becoming clear and calm with a low in the mid 70s.

Chance for storms tomorrow afternoon and evening and a high near 102.  Slight chance for storms for the 4th, 104ish.  Sunny Wednesday 105.  Chance for storms Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 106, 107, 105 respectively.

Forecast for Saturday, July 1, 2017

July!  July like a rug.  (I mean you probably don’t, it’s just fun to say)  Very dry again this morning allowing our temperatures to drop into the low 70s.  Very nice!  That same dry air will allow our high to get pretty high with the 17th day in a row of 105 or hotter expected.  Moisture increasing by tomorrow night with a slight chance of a storm, hopefully near you, in the metro.  Scattered storms along the international border to our south and southeast through next week.  Cooling off a bit Monday before we start a new streak of 105+ by Wednesday along with a slight chance of storms.  Monsoon 2017 is trying, but we aren’t quite there yet.  Maybe if we all wash our cars this weekend!

Sunny and hot today with a high near 108.

Mostly clear tonight with a low in the upper 70s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow with a slight chance of a storm in the evening and a high near 105.  Ditto for Monday with a high near 103.  Sunny for the 4th 104ish.  105 Wednesday.  Slight chance for storms Thursday and Friday with highs near 107.

Forecast for Friday, June 30, 2017

Refreshingly cool this morning!  Dewpoint is in the teens and that has allowed us to cool off considerably.  Low 70s right now at the airport with 66 on my deck thermometer!  Dry air also warms quickly so it looks like our streak of days over 105 will continue today and keep going through Sunday.  Moisture increasing for slight thunderstorm chances for the 4th and into next week.  Stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high near 106.

Clear tonight with a low in the mid 70s.

Sunny tomorrow near 108ish.  105 Sunday.  103 Monday.  Slight chance for storms Tuesday through Thursday with highs near 104, 105 and 107 respectively.

Forecast for Thursday, June 29, 2017

At least we broke the streak of record days in a row of lows at or above 80 degrees.  79 this morning is refreshingly “cool”!  Hot and dry through the weekend.  I found out yesterday that we are like number 5 all time for consecutive days over 105!  That streak will continue for another 4 days if the forecast comes exactly true.  I’ll hunt down the specifics, but all this record heat is making me feel good about my urban survival skillz!  Moisture on the increase next week for a chance of storms especially south and east of Tucson.

Sunny today with a high near 105.

Clear tonight with a low in the mid 70s.

Sunny tomorrow 105ish.  108 Saturday.  105 Sunday.  104 Monday and for the 4th.  Slight chance for storms Wednesday 104.
