Forecast for Thursday, October 18, 2018

Happy Friday Eve! It makes the weekend seem closer! (trust me. It’s true)

Warming up! But still below average for this time of year. A bit of an east breeze persists as well. Sunny today upper 70s. That is about as pleasant as it gets. Clear skies tonight mid 50s. Sunshine and low 80s tomorrow.

Then. An upper level low approacheth. Actually, it is forecast to form over southern California out of nothing! The result? An increase in moisture and instability which should lead to a few showers and maybe even a thunderstorm or two. 10% Saturday mid 80s. 20% Sunday low 80s.

Then it’s back to the sunshine. low 80s Monday and Tuesday. Near 80 Wednesday. Enjoy!

Forecast for Tuesday, October 16, 2018

That was fun! A few rumbles of thunder overnight along with some downpours to interrupt our pleasant dreams. The airport picked up .11″ last night before midnight and another .30″ since. Two weeks into October and we have over 2.00 inches for the month! A FLOOD ADVISORY is till in effect until 7:00 this morning. Be advised. There could be flooding. Most of the showers have moved off to the east, but it’s still raining as I type over the Rincons, portions of the Catalina’s, and in Vail. We could still see redevelopment of showers and storms today as our low moves into central Arizona. We’ll call it a 40% chance with a high in the low 70s. We should be cleared out for the most part by this evening with a low in the low 50s.

Our next storm (yes, two more actually) aren’t due in until the weekend. So. A bit of a warming trend the rest of the work week, but still below average for mid October. Crazy! I know.

Sunny tomorrow mid 70s with east breezes 10-20 mph and gusty. Sunny Thursday upper 70s. Low 80s Friday. Our next storm approacheth Saturday with a 20% chance for showers, breezy, and a high in the mid 80s. 30% Sunday low 80s. 10% Monday low 80s. Enjoy!
