I love me some Twofer Tuesday. My favorite day of the week after Saturday, Sunday, Friday and Thursday 🙂 Steady as she goes with sunshine and warm temperatures. Looks like we will avoid record highs, but highs and lows will be above average for the beginning of October. Mid 90s today. Upper 90s tomorrow through Saturday. Mid 90s Sunday and Columbus Day (aka Canadian Thanksgiving in Canada eh).
Last day of Monsoon 2017. It was a wild ride! Started out really really hot. Then record rainfall in July. Then it shut down in mid August and it’s been pretty much dry since. Thanx to July we ended up 2 and a half inches above average for Monsoon 2017 and the 11th wettest ever! October starts tomorrow. Normally a dry time for us and that is the forecast. Sunny until further notice with highs in the mid 90s through Tuesday. Upper 90s Wednesday and Thursday. Mid 90s Friday. Lows in the mid to upper 60s. Very nice for that morning coffee on the deck. Final numbers for September and Monsoon 2017 coming tomorrow. Stay tuned!
Today could get interesting. Moisture moving in from the east has made it to the Rincon and Catalina Mountains. Strong to isolated severe storms are possible east of town, but our local mountains might see some activity. The official forecast has no storms for the metro, but don’t be too surprised if we see some activity in and near the high country. The flow becomes more westerly than southwesterly and the moisture gets pushed out of here. The result will be tons of sunshine and highs in the mid 90s through Tuesday and upper 90s Wednesday and Thursday. Lows in the mid to upper 60s. Enjoy!
An upper level low was sitting over southern Utah this morning and is weakening and moving northeast. Moisture will increase from our east tomorrow and may make as far west as Tucson’s east side, so a slight chance for showers and storms in the Rincons and Catalina Mountains. It would be great if we could get a storm in town and maybe that will happen, but for right now it’s a remote chance. Temperatures warming into the mid 90s tomorrow and staying there through Wednesday with mostly sunny skies. Enjoy!
