Forecast for Friday, July 6, 2018

Well that was fun! Monsoon 2018 surprised us by over performing on the predicted 10% chance of storms. Some wind damage and blowing dust as a result and much needed rain for some. All that after tying the record high of 111!

It’s Friiidaaay!!! The east wind has been whipping overnight and will continue into this afternoon with gusts around 40 mph expected. If it’s not tied down it’s likely in Yuma by now. WIND ADVISORY in effect until 3:00 this afternoon, so be advised, it’s going to be windy. So far the morning low has been 88. Yuck! Looking for a high this afternoon near 105. The record of 109 should be safe. Should.

Mostly clear tonight and breezy, but not as windy as last night and today, with a low in the low 80s.

Storm chances return this weekend and next week! We’ll keep the easterly flow. Moisture is already here and will increase a bit. Disturbances in the force will move through from time to time enhancing thunderstorm chances. The exact timing of those is hard to pinpoint, but it’s gonna be a thing!

10% chance for storms Saturday 105. 20% chance for storms Saturday night near 80ish. 20% chance for storms Sunday 102. 40% chance for storms Sunday night upper 70s. 40% chance for storms Monday 99. 40% chance for storms Tuesday and Wednesday mid 90s. 20% chance for storms Thursday mid 90s.
