Forecast for Thursday, February 15, 2018

That worked out well! It has been a steady rain since last night! Almost half an inch of rain fell at the airport by midnight last night and we’ve added nearly another half inch of rain since then and it’s still coming down! We need it. An added bonus for this Oregon boy. I always love it when the weather from the Great Pacific Northwest comes for a visit!

Rain becoming showers by this afternoon and cool with a high near 58.

Mostly cloudy tonight with a few showers and a low in the upper 40s.

Mostly cloudy tomorrow with isolated showers possible and a high in the upper 60s.

Mostly sunny Saturday and Sunday low 70s.

A slight chance for showers Monday and breezy with a high in the upper 60s.

Forecast for Wednesday, February 14, 2018

“Ohhh, I hear laughter in the rain, walking hand and hand with the one I love. Ohhh how I love a rainy day and the happy way I feel inside…” Happy Valentine’s Day! And what is Valentine’s Day without a little Neil Sedaka?! (hey, don’t judge 🙂 ) Our upper level low is off the southern California coast pulling moisture to the north into Arizona. A disturbance in the moisture fetch (fetching, isn’t it?) should trigger shower activity by this afternoon. Rain showers continue and even increase as we get into this evening and the overnight hours. Rain chances continue tomorrow. The rain starts to wane tomorrow night and Friday with sunshine returning for the weekend. Valley locations still looking at anywhere from a quarter inch to an inch of rain before it is all said and done, at the end of the day, and other trite phrases. Lower amounts more likely as you head west of Tucson. Higher amounts more likely south and east. We need the rain. Pray it’s on the high side!

Cloudy today with scattered showers by this afternoon and a high in the mid 60s.

Showers tonight with a low near 50.

Cloudy tomorrow with scattered showers tomorrow and a high in the low 60s.

Lingering showers possible Friday otherwise becoming partly cloudy with a high in the upper 60s.

Mostly sunny Saturday and Sunday with highs in the low 70s. Upper 60s Monday. Mid 60s Tuesday.

Forecast for Tuesday, February 13, 2018

Here we go! A decent chance for rain the next couple of days and the computer models are starting to agree; it could be half an inch to an inch of rain for most valley locations!

I’m sure you noticed that the clouds and moisture are already on the increase this morning. Our upcoming low is currently near central California sinking south-southwestward on its way to off the southern California Coast. A nice fetch of tropical moisture is being pulled northward which will increase our rain chances as we get into tomorrow and especially tomorrow night. Enjoy!

Partly cloudy today with a high near 70.

Mostly cloudy tonight with a low near 50.

Showers becoming likely by tomorrow afternoon with a high in the mid 60s. Rain likely tomorrow night with scattered showers Valentine’s Day. Thursday’s high in the low 60s.

Lingering showers possible Friday upper 60s. Slight chance for showers Saturday near 70. Mostly sunny Sunday low 70s. Upper 60s Monday.

Forecast for Monday, February 12, 2018

I love this Valentine’s Day forecast! An upper level low in Nevada is slowly sinking south and west on it’s way to L.A. in a couple of days. The storm and its proximity will give us some breezy conditions by this afternoon. Out of the SSW 15-25 mph and gusty. The wind combined with the dry conditions means the National Weather Service has issued a RED FLAG WARNING from Noon until 7:00 this evening. If you just got the new Elon Musk Flamethrower maybe keep it in the closet today. High this afternoon in the low 70s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow with a bit of a breeze and a high in the low 70s.

Tropical moisture from the low to our west will increase our clouds tomorrow night with a chance for showers Wednesday and a high in the mid 60s.

Chance for showers continues through Thursday as the low weakens and moves through with a high in the mid 60s.

Rain totals from the storm estimated to be around .25″ – .75″. Some may receive more and some less. Snow levels remaining near 9,000 feet so only the highest peaks seeing snow.

Lingering showers perhaps Friday with a high in the upper 60s. Mostly sunny Saturday and Sunday mid 70s.

Forecast for Sunday, February 11, 2018

Not as warm as a low pressure system will drop in to Nevada and eventually off the southern California coast over the next several days. Mostly sunny today with a high in the mid 70s. Pretty awesome really.

Winds will increase enough tomorrow for the issuance of a FIRE WEATHER WATCH. Hopefully all will be well and we won’t have the opportunity to watch any fires. SSW breezes 15-25 mph and gusty by tomorrow afternoon so please be careful if you plan on setting anything on fire. High in the low 70s.

Mostly sunny Tuesday low 70s. Slight chance for showers Wednesday upper 60s. A chance for showers Thursday upper 60s. Slight chance for showers Friday mid 60s. Mostly sunny Saturday near 70.
