So. 89 yesterday. Hottest Thanksgiving evah. New record high for the date. Latest 89 degree day in Tucson’s 123 year history of keeping records. Pretty amazing. And yet to me it didn’t seem that hot. Maybe it’s because my aprtment faces north and it’s a good 10 degrees cooler on the deck during the afternoon. Maybe I’m just used to 80 something in the fall. We’ve sure had a lot of that and it’s going to continue. The hottest Thanksgiving Day Weekend rolls on with another record expected today, tomorrow and Sunday. What kills me about Sunday’s forecast is that dreaded psychological barrier of 90 degrees. Please NO! Otherwise, hey, it is what it is. TEP still ain’t getting my money! Big cool off next week with some breezes Monday and Tuesday as a storm goes through the Great Basin and knocks us back into the 70s!

Sunny today with a high near 88.

Clear tonight with a low in the low 50s.

Upper 80s tomorrow. Near 90 to the low 90s Sunday! Upper 80s Monday. Mid 70s Tuesday. Upper 70s Wednesday. Mid 70s Thursday.

All righty then. Thanksgiving is here! This will easily be the hottest Thanksgiving weekend on record. Hottest Thanksgiving on record so far? 86 on November 24th, 1998 and November 24th, 1904. We should easily best that with an expected high of 89ish. IF we hit 90 it will be the latest 90 evah in Tucson (please no!). Today’s record is 87 set in 1917 so that’s likely to fall as well. Tomorrows record is 86 set in 1981. Again, expected to be bested. Saturday’s record is 86 set in 1894. That is the longest standing record high still standing. (redundant on purpose)Then on Sunday, the record of 86 set in 1998 is in serious jeopardy with a high of 89 expected. Pretty amazing! I’m thinking of it this way. The mornings are nice and cool. The afternoons are not that hot considering the rest of the year and TEP isn’t getting my AC or heater cash. It’s all good! Something else to be thankful for. Not to mention the pumpkin pie I have waiting for me for breakfast with an insane amount of Reddi Wip. Cooling off next week as a storm misses us to the north. Staying dry, but highs Monday mid 80s. Mid 70s Tuesday and Wednesday!

Enjoy the weekend! I’m thankful for you as well. Your likes, comments, views & shares. Have a Happy and amazing Thanksgiving!

I have good news! Sorta. The National Weather Service has backed off from its forecast of 90 for Thanksgiving. However. 89 will still be the hottest Thanksgiving on record if it comes true. Yay us. Still refreshingly cool in the morning and I’m still not giving TEP any AC or heater $$. All good stuff. The hottest Thanksgivings on record are 1908 and 1998 when we hit 86. We should blow that out of the water. Tomorrows record of 87 should also go down in flames. Fridays record of of 86 is in serious jeopardy. Saturdays record of 86 will likely be bested as well. Oh wait, there’s more. Sundays record of 86 might be toast too. So. This Thanksgiving weekend will be historically hot and there’s nothing we can do about it except play and watch football and enjoy time with our family and friends. High pressure relaxes as we move into next week, but we’ll still be above average. Some high clouds around for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement!

Mostly sunny and a bit breezy today with east winds 10-20 mph gusting over 25 and a high in the mid 80s.

Mostly clear tonight with a low in the low 50s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow with a record high in the upper 80s. Upper 80s Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mid 80s Monday. Upper 70s Tuesday.

High clouds on the decrease as we go through the day today. Refreshingly cool this morning, but those highs. Wow! As high pressure re-exerts itself high temperatures will reach Thanksgiving levels never seen before in 123 years of record keeping in Tucson. IF we hit 90 on Thursday it will be the warmest ever Thanksgiving and the latest 90 degree reading evah. I’m personally rooting against it, but it will be what it will be. Que Sera Sera. No jackets required for a casual Thanksgiving. More like shorts and tank tops. East winds picking up the next couple of days as well so east wind prone areas may see some gusts around 25 mph tonight onto tomorrow.

Mostly sunny today with a high near 84ish.

Mostly clear tonight with a low in the low 50s.

Sunny tomorrow upper 80s. Near 90 Thanksgiving. Upper 80s Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Mid 80s Monday.

Hard to believe it’s November 20th, but my Google Calendar tells me it is, so it must be so. The forecast says May or maybe October so there’s that. Downright pleasant today with a high near 80 with some high cloudiness perhaps leading to amazing sunrise and sunset photo opportunities. High pressure gaining strength with unparalleled and unprecedented highs headed our way for the Thanksgiving weekend. Mid 80s tomorrow. Upper 80s Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday!
