It’s Friiidaaay!!!

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH is in effect today from 11:00 this morning until Midnight tonight. So. Much. Moisture. Plus an inverted trough AND another upper low heading our way all adding up to what should be numerous storms today. Some storms will be capable of dropping 1-2 inches of rain (or more) in a short amount of time. We’ll see. We make fun of the jinx that often happens when the Weather Service issues a Flash Flood Watch. Yesterday was off to a promising start and then storms evaporated in the Metro as soon as the watch was issued! Still, flooding occurred in Nogales, near Sierra Vista, Douglas and more, so they weren’t wrong. Will Tucson see flooding rains today/tonight? It looks like a distinct possibility, so just remember to enjoy Monsoon 2018 responsibly. Don’t drive through running water and you should be good! I know you know that, but it’s worth mentioning because we at Tucson Weather care about you! ❤️ Viva Monsoon 2018!

70% chance for storms today, some with heavy rainfall, and a high of only 90! 70 by tomorrow morning with a 50% chance for storms tonight. Again some with heavy rain possible.

Moisture and instability will be with us into tomorrow so a 30% chance for storms and a high near 93.

We start to dry out Sunday as we will be in a more westerly flow. A 20% chance for storms, but a better chance to our east. Sunday’s high in the mid 90s.

Drying out more Monday with a 10% chance upper 90s. Mostly sunny Tuesday and Wednesday near 100ish. Sunny Thursday 101.
