It’s Friiiidaaaaay!!!

A bit cooler today as high pressure gets pushed a bit more to the west. Cooler air in the Plains is moving westward through New Mexico and will move into eastern areas of southern Arizona today knocking their temperatures down to average for this time of year. We remain above average but a few degrees of cooling today and tomorrow is a welcome relief! Back near 90 Sunday. Then a storm system approacheth. Looks like there may enough moisture east of us for showers Monday night into Tuesday, but for now it looks like we will stay dry in the Metro with just a few more clouds. It will cool us off quite a bit to start the work week! After that the computer models are all over the place, but we have plenty of time to sort that out, and we will, as we get closer. Stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high in the upper 80s to near 90.

Clear tonight with a low in the mid 50s.

Sunny mid 80s tomorrow. Near 90ish Sunday. Upper 80s Monday. Partly cloudy Tuesday low 80s. Sunny near 80 Wednesday. Low 80s Tuesday.

Our high pressure is in slow retreat to the west and our temperatures will slowly retreat as well. Highs still above the low 80s average for this time of year through the weekend. Mornings are refreshingly cool, so there’s that. Then some good news. A low pressure system may move our way just in time for Halloween with a slight chance for showers and highs actually at, our slightly below, average! The models are hinting at it, but rain is not yet in the official forecast. Of course we’ll let you know as we go. Stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high near 94 (the record is 96 set in 2001).

Clear skies tonight with a low near 54.

Sunny near 90 tomorrow and Saturday. Low 90s Sunday. Upper 80s Monday. Low 80s Tuesday and Wednesday!

High pressure moving off to the west as we go through the week which means slowly falling temperatures into the weekend. This morning’s easterly breezes will also be weakening by this afternoon as the high slides west and weakens. If the forecast high comes exactly true today we will tie the record high of 95 set in 2014. No rain in sight. Looks like we will tie the driest October on record with zero, zip, nada, nothing for the month.

Sunny and breezy today with east winds 15-20 mph and gusty this morning relaxing this afternoon. Today’s high near 95.

Clear tonight with a low in the upper 50s.

Congratulations Tucson. As expected you set a new record high yesterday! 96 breaking the old record of 94 set in 1933. Today’s record of 96 should be safe as we cool off a couple of degrees with gusty east winds bringing in some cooler air, especially to our east. High pressure continue to lose it’s grip as we head into the weekend. Upper 80s by Friday which is still a good 6 degrees above average for this time of year, but we’ll take it!

Sunny and breezy today with east winds 15-25 mph and gusting higher. Today’s high near 94.

Clear and breezy tonight with east southeast winds 15-20 mph and gusting higher.

Sunny tomorrow and breezy in the morning with winds relaxing by afternoon and a high near 94. Sunny near 92ish Thursday. Upper 80s Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Yesterday we topped out at 90 which is well above the average of 83 for this time of year. Today we are forecasted to go from this morning’s low of 57 all the way up to a record shattering high of 96. A swing of almost 40 degrees! If it comes true that will easily top today’s record of 94 set in 1933. Tomorrow’s record high of 94 is also in jeopardy. High pressure should continue to weaken through the week with slowly falling temperatures. Winds picking up from the east tomorrow should be with us into early Wednesday before relaxing. No rain in sight. Don’t be mad at me, I’m just the messenger!

Sunny today with a new record high of 96.

Clear tonight with a low in the upper 50s.

Sunny and breezy tomorrow with east winds 15-25 mph gusting over 30 and a new record high of 95. Breezy Wednesday morning with winds relaxing by afternoon and a high in the low 90s. Sunny low 90s Thursday. Upper 80s Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Yesterday is what an average day for this time of year looks like. We started the day with a low of 56 (55 is average) and topped out in the afternoon at the average of 83. Pretty nice, huh?! (just a reminder, you can always go to www.tucsonweather.us and look up all the almanac’s for the past year and beyond) As we’ve been talking about for some time, it’s not going to last. High pressure re-exerting itself starting today should warm us quickly to near record highs Monday through Thursday. Then our high de-exerts itself somewhat for cooler weather by the end of the week, but warmer than we should be for late October. Still, even though the afternoons are toasty, the mornings remain quite nice. Enjoy!

Sunny today with a high near 90.

Clear skies tonight with a low in the mid 50s.

Sunny tomorrow with a high near 96. The record is 94 set in 1933 so…

Sunny and breezy Tuesday with east winds 15-25 mph gusting over 30 and a high near 94. Shy of the record of 96. Wednesday’s record is 95, we should be around 93ish. Near 90 Thursday. Upper 80s Friday. Mid 80s Saturday.

The cooler air has arrived and today will be downright pleasant! Tomorrow morning will be somewhat chilly (mmm chili) as lows dip into the 40s for some in the metro. Don’t get used to it. High pressure re-exerting itself will mean near record highs to start the work week. Some cooling by the end of the week into next weekend, but still above average.

Sunny today with a high near the seasonal average of 83.

Clear and cool tonight with a low near 51.

Sunny and warmer tomorrow with a high near 90ish. 96 Monday (record is 94). 96 Tuesday (record is 96). 94 Wednesday (record is 95). Low 90s Thursday. Mid 80s Friday.

It’s Friiiiidaaay!!!

Some relief from the heat the next couple three days and then it’s back in the October oven. A system to our north will push our obnoxious high out of the area briefly making for a decent weekend. Tomorrow looks especially nice. Then it’s like a bad Halloween movie where the villain just won’t die. High pressure returns next week to turn up the heat. Near record highs with relentlessly sunny skies. It will cool off for good… eventually. 🙂

Mostly sunny today and a bit breezy with SW winds 5-15 mph gusting over 25 and a high near 90.

Clear skies tonight with winds relaxing. Perfect conditions for enjoying the Orionid Meteor Shower that peaks after midnight! Low near 58.

Sunny and cooler tomorrow with a high actually near the average of 83 with an expected high near 82!

Sunny Sunday near 90. 94 Monday. 96 Tuesday (record is 96). 93 Wednesday. 90ish Thursday.

A weak system moving through the state will give us just a few degrees of cooling today (we’ll take it!) and a few clouds. Otherwise another very warm October day. A system missing us to the north will bring breezes and more cooling tomorrow and Saturday. Saturday’s forecast high is actually a degree or two below average for this time of year! Don’t get used to it. Near record high settles back in early next week with high pressure large and in charge. Stay tuned.

Mostly sunny today with a high near 93.

Mostly clear tonight with a low near 65.

Sunny and a little bit breezy tomorrow with a high near 90. Low 80s Saturday! Near 90 Sunday. Mid 90s Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Forecast / Record
Mon, Oct 23:  95 / 94
Tue, Oct 24:  96 / 96
Wed, Oct 25:  94 / 95

The forecast stays the same before it gets better before it gets worser. Clouds from a disturbance in Mexico will start to clear today with our highs remaining in the mid 90s today and tomorrow. A storm system missing us to the north will cool us off almost to near average for this time of year by Saturday. Enjoy it because high pressure builds in with a vengeance next week. The National Weather Service says that Tuesday’s expected high of 97 would be the second latest occurrence of 97 in a calendar year with the latest being 97 on October 27th of last year. IF we hit 98 that would be the latest occurrence of 98 in a calendar year. The record high for Tuesday is 96 set in 1959. Lets try to avoid breaking it if that is OK with you 🙂 Stay tuned!
