Our old pal high pressure is turning up the heat! and despite considerable high cloudiness today we are still expecting to break today’s record of 90. SE breezes 5-15 mph becoming SWesterly this afternoon.

Mostly cloudy tonight keeping “things” mild with a low near 60.

The system to our north bringing the clouds will exit to the east leaving some “cooler” air in its wake. Mostly sunny tomorrow with a high in the low 80s and a westerly breeze 5-15 mph.

Mostly sunny Saturday upper 70s. Mid 70s Sunday. Near 70 Monday and Tuesday. Another system headed our general direction will give us a slight chance for light rain Wednesday with a high in the upper 60s. Enjoy!

High pressure large and in charge the next couple of days. Probably a new record high tomorrow in the low 90s besting the record of 90 last hit in 1990. A system approacheth but will miss us to the north, so no rain, but we will see quite a bit of high cloudiness tomorrow and a bit breezy. The system misses us to the north Friday knocking our temperatures back down in time for the weekend. Another storm misses us to the north early next week for further cooling, but staying dry. Enjoy!

Mostly sunny today with a high in the mid 80s.

Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the upper 50s.

Partly sunny tomorrow and breezy with a SE wind 5-15 mph becoming SSW in the afternoon and a high in the low 90s.

Mostly sunny Friday low 80s. Near 80 Saturday. Mid 70s Sunday. Near 70 Monday. Low 70s Tuesday.

Meteorological Spring is the calendar months of March, April and May. Astronomically speaking Spring starts today. The Sun will be directly over the equator at 9:15 this morning Tucson time. You might feel a little dizzy. Dogs may be barking. If you are doing the dishes you might drop and break one. 🙂 Of course none of that is true… except the Vernal Equinox is at 9:15. Equinox meaning equal night (Latin). In a perfectly spherically shaped world with no atmosphere we would have exactly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of nighty night across the entire planet. But, the atmosphere actually bends the incoming  sunlight so the Sun appears to rise a few minutes before it actually does and appears to set a few minutes after it actually does. Throws the whole Equinox off a bit, but it’s still close.

The first day of Spring in Tucson looks pretty outstanding! Lots of sunshine today with a high near 80.

Mostly clear skies tonight with a low near 50.

High pressure continues to flex the next couple of days. Sunny tomorrow 84ish. High clouds moving in Wednesday through Friday. Thursday the warmest day of the week despite the cloud cover with a high near the record of 90. Cooler Friday as a system misses us to the north near 80. Mostly sunny Saturday upper 70s. Mid 70s Sunday and Monday. Enjoy!
