Forecast for Saturday, April 21, 2018

All quiet on the western and SE Arizona front. A very pleasant, albeit kinda warm weekend is in store! Yesterday’s high was an outstanding 74 degrees. Today we jump 11 to 85 if this forecast comes exactly true. That is really close to our average high this time of year of 84.

Somewhat interesting developments in Baja California. A weakening low will bring us increasing clouds tonight and into tomorrow. Not expecting any rain in the metro, but perhaps a few hundredths to our east. Very light if it happens. I’m hoping we’ll have some sunrise and sunset enhancement! Tonight’s low in the mid 50s and tomorrow’s high near 90.

Mostly sunny Monday low 90s. Mid 90s Tuesday. Low 90s Wednesday and Thursday. Friday could get interesting as one model is trying to give us a chance for thunderstorms as far west as Tucson, while the others keep the chances east. For now we’ll go sunny Friday near 90. We’ll keep you posted. Stay tuned!

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

Well that was fun. Top wind gust yesterday was 40 mph out of the southwest. Dusty/Hazy views of the mountains around sunset too. It looks like the worst is over wind-wise for the foreseeable future! Congratulations, you survived! I think we all deserve t-shirts or something. Breezy again today, but WNW winds only 10-20 mph and gusty. Cooler as our system exits the Four Corners stage east. Today’s high in the mid 70s.

Clear skies tonight with a low in the upper 40s.

Sunny tomorrow mid 80s. Near 90ish Sunday. Low 90s Monday. Mid 90s Tuesday. Low 90s Wednesday and Thursday. Enjoy!

Another blustery day yesterday and much cooler as advertised. The peak wind gust at the airport was 36 mph out of the NW and we topped out at 69 degrees. The system responsible for messing up our hair the last couple of days has moved east leaving just a light NNW breeze in it’s wake today. After a chilly start (mmm chili) this morning (43 was our low) we’ll rebound nicely, thank you very much, with a high in the upper 70s to perhaps 80.

Clear skies tonight with a low in the upper 40s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow with a high near 90ish!

It’s Friiidaaay!!! (the 13th)
