Forecast for Saturday, May 6, 2017
We hit 104 yesterday to break the record of 102 set in 1947. A storm approacheth as we are set to flip the weather script. MUCH cooler with a chance for showers and thunderstorms by Monday and especially Tuesday. Windy today and tomorrow in the transition. So much so that the National Weather Service has issued a WIND ADVISORY, so be advised, it’s going to be windy and a RED FLAG WARNING. Both are in effect from 10:00 this morning until 7:00 tonight. Please, for the love of all that is right and good, if you smoke keep your butt in the car. Also be careful setting stuff on fire or shooting exploding targets in the desert. The storm moves through Tuesday with our best chance for storms. Temperatures swinging from 16 degrees above average yesterday to 16 degrees below average Tuesday. A warming trend starts mid next week. Enjoy!

Forecast for Friday, May 5, 2017
Cinco de Mayo on a Friiiiiidaaaaay! That is pretty good planning. Another hot day before a dramatic change in the weather pattern cools us off and brings a chance for showers and thunderstorms by Tuesday of next week. We hit 100 for the first time this year yesterday afternoon at 2:34. Today should be at least as hot with an expected high of 101. Then a strong storm approacheth which will kick up the winds and drive a cold front through southern Arizona. It will be much cooler. That’s what cold fronts do. A FIRE WEATHER WATCH is in effect tomorrow so be careful setting stuff on fire. As the storm moves through early next week we could see showers and storms. That would be nice. Hopefully one or two near you. Stay tuned!
