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.

Cooler weather is upon us! Amazing mornings and not too hot in the afternoon today and tomorrow, but don’t get used to it. Real deal heat is headed our way by the end of this week and the National Weather Service has issued an EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH for Friday into Monday! Basically you have until then to get your affairs in order and hoard as much water as you can. Temperatures approaching or exceeding 110 by this weekend. Stay tuned!

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.

A dry southwesterly flow is here between our high that has left us to the east and a storm system that approacheth the Pacific Northwest. We will see breezes increase as the system moves through the Great Basin tomorrow. “Cooler” air will invade as well but still warm enough to jump in the pool. Perhaps a few high clouds from time to time for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. High pressure builds back in next week for the heat to return. Early indications are that it could be the real deal heat by next weekend. Like maybe one-teens hot?! I’ll keep you posted! What else do I have to do? 🙂

High pressure sliding east and a dry westerly flow setting up across southern Arizona. One more hot day before we start to cool of into next week. A system moving through the Great Basin will help kick up the winds this weekend and cool us off with mid 90s by Monday! Then high pressure returns bringing the triple digits back by mid next week. Enjoy!
