Yesterday’s high of 79 was pleasant enough and 3 degrees above the forecast high of 76, so there’s that. Just a few degrees cooler this afternoon with a high of 75, but still super nice. A storm missing us to the north tomorrow will kick up the breezes just a bit and cooling us down to the mid 60s. High pressure builds back in for a warming trend next week. Low 70s Monday. Mid 70s Tuesday. Upper 70s Wednesday and Thursday. Near 80 Friday. Enjoy!
It’s Friiidaaay!!!
A couple of days in the mid 70s as high pressure has returned between systems. Our next will miss us to the north but we’ll see a bit of a breeze tomorrow and also a few high clouds for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement.
Cooler on Sunday behind the exiting storm with a few showers well to our NE. A NW breeze with a high in the mid 60s.
Warming up next week. Sunny Monday low 70s. Upper 70s Tuesday and Wednesday. Near 80 Thursday. Enjoy!
Well that was fun! 6 inches of snow on Mt. Lemmon and 1-2 in Oracle. A few reports of some brief snow showers in Vail and Catalina, small hail or graupel around parts of Tucson, and I had a couple of minutes of sleet here in Oro Valley. Mainly it was rain in the metro with .20″ falling at the airport and by afternoon even with clearing skies that wind was brisk!
Waking up to temperatures in the low to mid 30s. Sunshine and high pressure building in will make for a quick warm up. March coming in like a lamb with a high near 68 which is still 3 degrees below average for this time of year.
Clear skies tonight with a low near 42 which is 2 degrees below average.
Warmer still tomorrow and Saturday with highs in the mid 70s. A storm missing us to the north will provide a few breezes and a cooler Sunday with a high in the mid 60s. Low 70s Monday. Mid 70s Tuesday. Upper 70s Wednesday. Enjoy!
Showers winding down in the Metro as I write this at 5:46 in the a.m. Still snowing in the surrounding mountains and as low as Oracle. Sorry Vail and Saddlebrooke, looks like you missed out on the snow showers although I suppose it could still happen briefly in the next hour or two. The airport picked up .17″ so far and that will likely be the total for this last day of February. That brings us to 1.93″ for the month and 1.95″ for the year. That’s .16″ above average for the year to date. We’ll take it! Thank you February for reversing our Winter precipitation fortunes.
The storm exits stage east today with clearing skies and a high near 55ish. Dry enough by tonight with clear skies that tomorrow morning’s low will be near freezing. You may want to consider letting the teenagers crash inside tonight. Maybe.
Warming up with sunshine tomorrow as March comes in like a lamb. High in the upper 60s to near 70, just a degree or two below average for this time of year.
Sunny and warmer Friday mid 70s. Low 70s Saturday. Mid 60s Sunday. Near 70 Monday. Mid 70s Tuesday. Enjoy!
If you have hatches you might want to batten them down. A Winter Storm is barreling our way with gusty winds today and tonight and rain and low mountain snow tonight into tomorrow morning. The storm has slowed slightly which is good news for rain and snowfall amounts. Those expected values have been bumped up slightly. The other big news is the snow level. How low will it go before the storm moves on Wednesday? The National Weather Service has issued a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY above 4,500 feet starting at 11:00 tonight until 11:00 tomorrow morning, so be advised, there will be Winter weather. Up to 3 inches of snow possible between 4,500 – 6,000 feet and 4 to 8 inches above 7,000 feet. Rain in valley locations expected between .15″ – .30″ ish for most of us. The snow level is expected to go as low as 3,500 feet Wednesday morning, so it’s completely possible that Catalina and Corona de Tucson could see some snow falling, but not expecting any accumulations. Saddlebrooke and Vail maybe?! After the storm blows through tonight and tomorrow we’ll see a warm up Thursday through Saturday and then a little cooler Sunday and Monday.
Mostly sunny today with increasing clouds. Windy with SSW winds 15-25 mph gusting over 35 by this afternoon and a high near 68ish

Winter in Arizona! It’s been shorter than even our normal, but it is here for less than one more week. More accurately, it is here for one more storm! Will there be others in March? Too far out to tell right now, but we do have a good handle on Tuesday night/Wednesday.

Some frost out there this morning with a low of 35 so far. Yesterday’s high was a good 6 degrees below the average of 70 for this time of year and today will be cooler. It may not feel as cold since the wind will be lighter. In any event, our active weather pattern is remaining rather active with another weak system missing us to the north today. We’ll stay sunny but cool with a high in the upper 50s.

A storm currently raining and snowing on southern Alaska is forecast to drop south and move into southern Arizona Tuesday and Wednesday. Scattered showers and mountain show with a high Tuesday in the mid 60s and mid 50s Wednesday. Sunny Thursday mid 60s.
Staying on the cool side as a system that missed us to the north yesterday exits and another system is set to miss us to the north tomorrow tomorrow night. Unfortunately staying dry this far south but a few clouds this evening and tomorrow for possible sunset and sunrise enhancement. Looking really interesting around the middle of next week as a cold storm currently in the Bering Sea chugs our way for a better chance for rain and mountain snow. How low will the snow level go? We’ll keep a close eye on it and let you know as it gets closer. Stay tuned!
