Our upper low is currently over NE Arizona and is still sending showers our way this morning. The storm has over-performed rainfall-wise in Oro Valley and other northern Tucson locations with generally a half inch of rain or more. One rain gauge recorded 1.50″! Not sure where that was yet, but congratulations! Someone in OV is living right (hint; It’s not me). Meanwhile, the official rain gauge at the airport has only received a trace so far. Scattered showers still possible this morning (it’s raining right now in OV) with partial clearing by this afternoon becoming partly cloudy tonight. Sunshine returns tomorrow and still on the cool side. Mid 70s return Friday and that’s about where we will stay through Tuesday of next week. Enjoy!

Here we go! A strong storm system is dropping flooding rains on parts of the California coast this morning. The low will head toward northern Arizona as we go through the day and move across tonight. Winds will be picking up as the storm approacheth today and moves through tonight. The computer models have backed off just a tad on rainfall amounts with the storm, but we still could see up to a half inch of rain in spots. Snow levels will start quite high but crash to near 5,000 feet by tomorrow morning. Still expecting 4-7 inches of snow above 7,000 feet with higher amounts possible above 8,000. The storm moves on to northern New Mexico by late Wednesday and we’ll be left with cooler temperatures for a day or two before we start to warm back up. Enjoy!

Partly sunny today with scattered showers possible by late afternoon and a high near 72.

Breezy tonight with south winds 10-20 mph gusting over 30 becoming WSW after midnight as the front moves through. Showers and possibly a thunderstorm (hopefully near you) before 2 a.m. then scattered showers. Low near 50.

Partly sunny tomorrow with isolated showers then clearing late in the afternoon and a high near 60.

Sunny Thursday 65ish. Mid 70s Friday, Saturday, Sunday and MLK Day.

All systems go for tomorrow night’s storm! We are already starting to see an increase in clouds and moisture this morning. As the system gets closer we could see some light rain as early as later today or tonight. Isolated showers also possible tomorrow ahead of the main event tomorrow night. As the storm moves through with its associated cold front Tuesday night we’ll have a good chance for valley rain and mountain snow and maybe a few thunderstorms thrown in! Maybe. Snow levels start out above 8,000 feet falling to near 5,000 feet Wednesday morning. Could see 4-7 inches of snow above 7,000 feet before the storm moves out Wednesday. Up to a half inch of rain with some isolated higher amounts in valley locations. Lingering showers Wednesday morning with clearing skies during the day. Then we warm up by next weekend. Enjoy!

High clouds overnight associated with a system moving through the Four Corners has kept some of the heat from escaping into space (echo: space, space, space… ). A mild start to another warm southern Arizona day with decreasing clouds today. Clouds will be on the increase tonight as our next storm approacheth. The forecast is still looking promising for valley rain and mountain snow! By tomorrow the system will be moving into southern California with a slight chance for light rain as early as tomorrow night. The main event will be Tuesday night as the storm moves through with showers lingering into the first half of Wednesday. Snow levels will start quite high; above 8,000 feet, but will crash perhaps as low as 5,000. Could see 4-8 inches above 7,000 feet so some sledding in the Catalinas might be in order. Valley locations still expecting up to a half inch of rain, perhaps a bit more. The storm keeps truckin’ so clearing skies Wednesday afternoon and a warming trend for the end of next week. Enjoy!

More high cloudiness today for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement as a system moves out of the Great Basin to the Four Corners. No threat of rain or mountain snow this far south and we’ll stay on the warm side. Upper 70s today. Mid 70s tomorrow. Upper 70s Monday.

By Monday night into Tuesday we’ll see those clouds start to thicken as another, stronger, storm heads our direction. Isolated showers possible Tuesday with the main event Tuesday night into Wednesday. Valley locations still looking at up to a half inch of rain from this storm. Snow levels dropping to around 5,000 – 6,000 feet. Cooler temperatures too. Isolated showers Tuesday mid 70s. Scattered showers Tuesday night into Wednesday morning becoming isolated Wednesday low 60s.

Sunshine returns Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid 60s to near 70 respectively. We’ll keep you posted as we go.

“Things” are getting interesting. Especially mid next week. High pressure still in control, but a storm moving through the Four Corners this weekend will add some added clouds to the mix. Sunrise and sunset enhancement certainly a possibility. Still warm with highs today through Monday in the mid to upper 70s.

The models are in agreement! A storm approacheth Monday and Tuesday with a slight chance for rain with highs in the mid 70s.

The storm moves through Tuesday night and Wednesday with valley rain and mountain snow. Early indications are we could see up to a half inch of rain with snow levels as low as 5,000 feet before the storm leaves us. Wednesday’s high in the mid 60s.

Sunshine returns Thursday with a high near 65ish. The details will come into better focus as we get closer. Stay tuned!

A weak disturbance in the force moving through southern Arizona is giving us some sprinkles and light rain this morning (half the calories than our regular rain). High this afternoon in the low 70s. Look for this feature to move east by tonight with clearing skies.

Mostly sunshine and warm temperatures prevail through the weekend into next week with highs in the mid 70s tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Then a storm approacheth from the pacific and should move our way by Tuesday night with a chance for showers Tuesday night and Wednesday with a high in the low 70s. Enjoy!

High clouds still around for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. Warm temperatures too and breezy today with east winds 10-20 mph and gusty and a high in the mid 70s. Winds relax tonight with a low in the mid 40s. Sunny tomorrow with just a few high clouds around and a high in the mid 70s. Upper 70s Friday. Increasing clouds Friday night with partly sunny skies Saturday and Sunday as a weak system brings a slight chance of light rain to our north. We should stay dry with highs in the upper 70s Saturday and low 70s Sunday. Mostly sunny Monday low 70s. Mid 70s Tuesday. There is a hint that another system may bring us a better chance for rain mid next week. We’ll see. Stay tuned!

The weather so far this year has been amazing! Looks like it will continue all week as high pressure still rules in 2018. A change in the pattern may happen by the weekend into next week for a chance for some rain. Until then about 10 degrees above average with some high clouds from time to time for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. Happy New Year! Don’t forget to write 2018 on your checks. Oh wait, who writes checks anymore?

Mostly sunny today with a high near 75.

Mostly clear tonight with a low in the mid 40s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow mid 70s. Partly sunny Wednesday mid 70s. Mostly sunny Thursday and Friday mid 70s. Partly sunny Saturday low 70s. Slight chance for rain Sunday near 70.

Last day of the hottest year ever recorded in Tucson’s 123 years of record keeping. The 4.5 billion years before that? Who knows! Anyway. We are the envy of a frozen nation once again with high pressure keeping our highs high and our lows not so low. A disturbance in the force undercutting the high is expected to bring us increasing high cloudiness for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. Still looking past the 7 day forecast for a possible change in the weather pattern. That could be good for a rain starved desert. You know. If it happens. Stay tuned!
