Forecast for Friday, June 30, 2017
Refreshingly cool this morning! Dewpoint is in the teens and that has allowed us to cool off considerably. Low 70s right now at the airport with 66 on my deck thermometer! Dry air also warms quickly so it looks like our streak of days over 105 will continue today and keep going through Sunday. Moisture increasing for slight thunderstorm chances for the 4th and into next week. Stay tuned!
Sunny today with a high near 106.
Clear tonight with a low in the mid 70s.
Sunny tomorrow near 108ish. 105 Sunday. 103 Monday. Slight chance for storms Tuesday through Thursday with highs near 104, 105 and 107 respectively.

Forecast for Thursday, June 29, 2017
At least we broke the streak of record days in a row of lows at or above 80 degrees. 79 this morning is refreshingly “cool”! Hot and dry through the weekend. I found out yesterday that we are like number 5 all time for consecutive days over 105! That streak will continue for another 4 days if the forecast comes exactly true. I’ll hunt down the specifics, but all this record heat is making me feel good about my urban survival skillz! Moisture on the increase next week for a chance of storms especially south and east of Tucson.

Forecast for Wednesday, June 28, 2017
I feel like after last week’s heatwave 105-108 isn’t that bad. I’m still not hiking in the afternoon. Dry westerly flow for the next few days and then a moisture return possible starting early next week. Perhaps a few storms starting then. Stay tuned!

Forecast for Tuesday, June 27, 2017
Yesterday morning we started the morning with a new record high minimum temperature for the date with a not so low low of 83. We followed that up with a high of 107. Somewhat similar temperatures today with a degree or three cooler to start the day and perhaps a degree warmer this afternoon. Drier air is moving in and high pressure moving south for slightly cooler weather this week, but it’s still hot. Moisture to start to increase from the south by the end of the weekend. Will it make it far enough north for storm chances in Tucson by the 4th? Maybe. We’ll all have to stay tuned!

Forecast for Monday, June 26, 2017
Lingering moisture today for a few afternoon/evening storms possible. Hopefully near you!, but they will be few and far between. High pressure weakening and moving south opening the door for a drying and cooling trend this week. It’ll still be hot! Just not over 110 hot. Looks like a moisture surge will start Sunday/Monday just in time for the 4th of July. Viva Monsoon 2017!
