Forecast for Monday, January 8, 2018

All systems go for tomorrow night’s storm! We are already starting to see an increase in clouds and moisture this morning. As the system gets closer we could see some light rain as early as later today or tonight. Isolated showers also possible tomorrow ahead of the main event tomorrow night. As the storm moves through with its associated cold front Tuesday night we’ll have a good chance for valley rain and mountain snow and maybe a few thunderstorms thrown in! Maybe. Snow levels start out above 8,000 feet falling to near 5,000 feet Wednesday morning. Could see 4-7 inches of snow above 7,000 feet before the storm moves out Wednesday. Up to a half inch of rain with some isolated higher amounts in valley locations. Lingering showers Wednesday morning with clearing skies during the day. Then we warm up by next weekend. Enjoy!

Partly sunny today with a high in the upper 70s.

Isolated showers possible tonight mainly after midnight with a low in the mid 50s.

Partly sunny tomorrow with a chance for isolated showers and a high in the low 70s.

Showers likely tomorrow night with possibly a thunderstorm. Breezy with SSW winds 10-20 mph and gusty becoming westerly after midnight. Low in the mid 40s.

Isolated showers possible Wednesday morning becoming mostly sunny with a high near 60.

Sunny Thursday mid 60s. Mid 70s Friday. Upper 70s Saturday. Low 70s Sunday.

Forecast for Sunday, January 7, 2018

High clouds overnight associated with a system moving through the Four Corners has kept some of the heat from escaping into space (echo: space, space, space… ). A mild start to another warm southern Arizona day with decreasing clouds today. Clouds will be on the increase tonight as our next storm approacheth. The forecast is still looking promising for valley rain and mountain snow! By tomorrow the system will be moving into southern California with a slight chance for light rain as early as tomorrow night. The main event will be Tuesday night as the storm moves through with showers lingering into the first half of Wednesday. Snow levels will start quite high; above 8,000 feet, but will crash perhaps as low as 5,000. Could see 4-8 inches above 7,000 feet so some sledding in the Catalinas might be in order. Valley locations still expecting up to a half inch of rain, perhaps a bit more. The storm keeps truckin’ so clearing skies Wednesday afternoon and a warming trend for the end of next week. Enjoy!

Decreasing clouds today with a high in the mid 70s.

Increasing clouds tonight with a low near 50ish.

Partly sunny tomorrow with a high in the upper 70s.

Isolated showers Tuesday with showers likely Tuesday night. High in the low 70s. Low in the mid 40s.

Forecast for Saturday, January 6, 2018

More high cloudiness today for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement as a system moves out of the Great Basin to the Four Corners. No threat of rain or mountain snow this far south and we’ll stay on the warm side. Upper 70s today. Mid 70s tomorrow. Upper 70s Monday.

By Monday night into Tuesday we’ll see those clouds start to thicken as another, stronger, storm heads our direction. Isolated showers possible Tuesday with the main event Tuesday night into Wednesday. Valley locations still looking at up to a half inch of rain from this storm. Snow levels dropping to around 5,000 – 6,000 feet. Cooler temperatures too. Isolated showers Tuesday mid 70s. Scattered showers Tuesday night into Wednesday morning becoming isolated Wednesday low 60s.

Sunshine returns Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid 60s to near 70 respectively. We’ll keep you posted as we go.

Forecast for Friday, January 5, 2018

“Things” are getting interesting. Especially mid next week. High pressure still in control, but a storm moving through the Four Corners this weekend will add some added clouds to the mix. Sunrise and sunset enhancement certainly a possibility. Still warm with highs today through Monday in the mid to upper 70s.

The models are in agreement! A storm approacheth Monday and Tuesday with a slight chance for rain with highs in the mid 70s.

The storm moves through Tuesday night and Wednesday with valley rain and mountain snow. Early indications are we could see up to a half inch of rain with snow levels as low as 5,000 feet before the storm leaves us. Wednesday’s high in the mid 60s.

Sunshine returns Thursday with a high near 65ish. The details will come into better focus as we get closer. Stay tuned!

Forecast for Thursday, January 4, 2018

A weak disturbance in the force moving through southern Arizona is giving us some sprinkles and light rain this morning (half the calories than our regular rain). High this afternoon in the low 70s. Look for this feature to move east by tonight with clearing skies.

Mostly sunshine and warm temperatures prevail through the weekend into next week with highs in the mid 70s tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Then a storm approacheth from the pacific and should move our way by Tuesday night with a chance for showers Tuesday night and Wednesday with a high in the low 70s. Enjoy!

Forecast for Wednesday, January 3, 2018

High clouds still around for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. Warm temperatures too and breezy today with east winds 10-20 mph and gusty and a high in the mid 70s. Winds relax tonight with a low in the mid 40s. Sunny tomorrow with just a few high clouds around and a high in the mid 70s. Upper 70s Friday. Increasing clouds Friday night with partly sunny skies Saturday and Sunday as a weak system brings a slight chance of light rain to our north. We should stay dry with highs in the upper 70s Saturday and low 70s Sunday. Mostly sunny Monday low 70s. Mid 70s Tuesday. There is a hint that another system may bring us a better chance for rain mid next week. We’ll see. Stay tuned!

Forecast for Tuesday, January 2, 2018

Another shot of Arctic air is moving into the eastern half of the country reinforcing the frigid temperatures that have been hanging out there for the past week +. Even northern Florida could see some snow today and tomorrow! That leaves the SW US (us) as the nations last best hope for mild temperatures and fun in the Sun! (OK, filtered Sun). The computer models can’t agree on the details, so some of this forecast is up in the air. (see what I did there?) A mix of high clouds and sunshine today and continued warm with highs in the mid 70s. A cold front approacheth from the east tomorrow but how far west will it get? If it moves through Tucson our forecast high of 72ish will be optimistic. Either way we should see some gusty east winds in gusty east winds prone areas such as much of Tucson, but not as bad in Oro Valley, for example. Thicker high clouds tomorrow too. Then it’s mostly sunshine Thursday and Friday with highs in the mid 70s. This weekend is a bit of a mystery as well. Increasing clouds Saturday as a storm approacheth, but the betting money is keeping the rain chances north of us this weekend. Even then, only light rain is expected. (half the calories of our regular rain). Mid 70s Saturday. Low 70s Sunday with partly sunny skies this weekend. Mostly sunny Monday near 70. We’ll keep an eye on all of it as usual. Stay tuned!

 

Forecast for Monday, January 1, 2018

The weather so far this year has been amazing! Looks like it will continue all week as high pressure still rules in 2018. A change in the pattern may happen by the weekend into next week for a chance for some rain. Until then about 10 degrees above average with some high clouds from time to time for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. Happy New Year! Don’t forget to write 2018 on your checks. Oh wait, who writes checks anymore?

Mostly sunny today with a high near 75.

Mostly clear tonight with a low in the mid 40s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow mid 70s. Partly sunny Wednesday mid 70s. Mostly sunny Thursday and Friday mid 70s. Partly sunny Saturday low 70s. Slight chance for rain Sunday near 70.

Forecast for Sunday, December 31, 2017

Last day of the hottest year ever recorded in Tucson’s 123 years of record keeping. The 4.5 billion years before that? Who knows! Anyway. We are the envy of a frozen nation once again with high pressure keeping our highs high and our lows not so low. A disturbance in the force undercutting the high is expected to bring us increasing high cloudiness for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. Still looking past the 7 day forecast for a possible change in the weather pattern. That could be good for a rain starved desert. You know. If it happens. Stay tuned!

Increasing clouds today with a high in the upper 70s.

Mostly cloudy tonight with a low in the mid 40s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow with a high in the mid 70s. Mid 70s Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Low 70s Saturday.

Forecast for Saturday, December 30, 2017

All righty then. 82 yesterday! 82ish expected today. The difference is yesterday’s record high is 85 set in 1921. Today’s record is 81 set in 1917. Looks like that is gonna fall by the wayside. The wayside. Where stuff falls, I guess. Anyway. It’s warm. Good day to play frisbee and other fun outdoor activities. “Cooling” off a bit as 2018 approacheth. Mid 70s by New Year’s Day. Mid 70s Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday too. The models think that maybe the pattern will change by the end of next week or weekend. Storm(s) headed our way? Stay tuned!
