Daily Almanac

It happened! It actually rained a few drops on me last evening when I was on my deck enjoying the sunset. Not enough to wet the deck or anything, but what my Dad calls a two inch rain; the raindrops where two inches apart! No rain chances in the foreseeable future. 96 was yesterday’s high and we should be in the mid 90s again today for the fifth day in a row or something. Then. It’s baaaack. The wind returns tomorrow and stays through Tuesday. Ugh! A couple of storms missing us to the north (you know the routine) will kick up the winds with areas of blowing dust and a high fire danger. Cooler temperatures too, so there’s that. Average high this time of year is 86 and we will be much cooler than that Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Sometimes it’s good to be below average! (don’t ask me how I know that) Enjoy!

Sunny today with a high near 94ish.

Clear skies tonight with a low in the low 60s.

Sunny and breezy tomorrow with winds becoming SW in the afternoon 15-25 mph gusting over 30. Tomorrow’s high in the low 90s.

Sunny and breezy Monday with WSW winds gusting to near 30 and a high in the mid 80s.

Partly sunny breezy Tuesday low 80s. Sunny Wednesday upper 70s! Near 80 Thursday. Upper 80s Friday.

Forecast for Friday, April 27, 2018

Daily Almanac

95 again yesterday for the third day in a row. Not bad really. A little warm, but it hasn’t been bothering me. We’ll be right there again today, but with some changes. A trough moving through from the west combined with a bit more moisture will give us a slight chance for a storm or two this evening. The best chance will be near the mountains. It’s still too dry at the surface, so if we do manage a storm or two expect more wind and dry lightning than rain. That could be fire dangerous! Still, it’ll be nice to see some build ups as long as lightning doesn’t go pyro on us. Late in the weekend we transition to cooler and breezy weather as a couple of storms miss us to the north. Still kinda Spring!

Mostly sunny today with a SW breeze this afternoon 5-15 mph and gusty with a high near 95ish.

Slight chance for an isolated storm or two this evening. Gusty winds near showers. Becoming mostly clear overnight with a low in the low 60s.

Sunny tomorrow with a high in the mid 90s. Breezy Sunday with SW winds gusting over 30 and a high near 90. Breezy Monday mid 80s. Breezy Tuesday low 80s. Upper 70s Wednesday. Low 80s Thursday.

Forecast for Thursday, April 26, 2018

Daily Forecast

Our warm late April days continue into the weekend with highs in the mid to low 90s for highs. That’s about 10 – 8 degrees above average for this time of year. High cloudiness from time to time for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. The bad news is the National Weather Service has dropped our slight chance for storms for Friday and Saturday. Even worse, it looks like our Spring winds will return Sunday through Tuesday. Cooler temperatures though as we go, so there’s that. Hang in there!

Mostly sunny today with a high near 95ish. Mid 90s tomorrow. Low 90s Saturday. Sunny and breezy Sunday near 90. Breezy Monday upper 80s. Breezy Tuesday mid 80s. Upper 70s Wednesday.

Forecast for Wednesday, April 25, 2018

Daily Forecast

Well. Mostly sunny and warm continues today and tomorrow with highs in the mid 90s and lows in the mid 60s to near 70 respectively.

Then. An increase of moisture from the SE will give us a slight chance for isolated thunderstorms Friday afternoon/evening and Saturday afternoon too. The problem with storms this time of year is the lack of moisture in the lower levels of the atmosphere. If we do manage a storm we are likely to see gusty winds near storms and maybe even some dry lightning. So. The rain chances are good and we’ll take ’em. The increased fire danger is also there. Hashtag #justsayin. Low 90s for highs Friday and Saturday.

A pattern change next week cooling us off and bringing back the Spring wind. Sunny Sunday upper 80s. Breezy Monday mid 80s. Low 80s Tuesday. Enjoy!

Daily Forecast

I have good news and I have bad news. Let’s start with the bad news since I think that is tradition. Looks like a pattern change will cool us of and bring the winds back early to mid next week. I guess the cooler air is somewhat good news in that bad news so there’s that. The really good news is mainly for areas east of Tucson, but there is a slight chance the Metro might get in on the action. Increased moisture Friday into Saturday will give us a slight chance for a thunderstorm or two! Stay tuned…

Some high cloudiness with our sunshine today, tomorrow and Thursday for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement with highs in the mid 90s. Lows in the mid to upper 60s.

Mostly sunny Friday with a high in the low 90s and a slight chance for an evening storm, hopefully near you. Mostly sunny Saturday with a slight chance for an afternoon and/or evening storm and a high near 90ish. Sunny Sunday upper 80s. Mid 80s Monday.
