Oh, cooler today too with a high near 81ish. SW winds 15-25 mph gusting to near 35.

Our system moves through tonight and we’ll keep it breezy until midnight. The best news is the 20% chance for showers and/or a thunderstorm, hopefully near you! Snow levels as low as just below 7,000, so there’s that. Low in Tucson in the low 50s.
