Forecast for Friday, July 6, 2018

Daily Forecast,

Well that was fun! Monsoon 2018 surprised us by over performing on the predicted 10% chance of storms. Some wind damage and blowing dust as a result and much needed rain for some. All that after tying the record high of 111!

It’s Friiidaaay!!! The east wind has been whipping overnight and will continue into this afternoon with gusts around 40 mph expected. If it’s not tied down it’s likely in Yuma by now. WIND ADVISORY in effect until 3:00 this afternoon, so be advised, it’s going to be windy. So far the morning low has been 88. Yuck! Looking for a high this afternoon near 105. The record of 109 should be safe. Should.

Mostly clear tonight and breezy, but not as windy as last night and today, with a low in the low 80s.

Storm chances return this weekend and next week! We’ll keep the easterly flow. Moisture is already here and will increase a bit. Disturbances in the force will move through from time to time enhancing thunderstorm chances. The exact timing of those is hard to pinpoint, but it’s gonna be a thing!

10% chance for storms Saturday 105. 20% chance for storms Saturday night near 80ish. 20% chance for storms Sunday 102. 40% chance for storms Sunday night upper 70s. 40% chance for storms Monday 99. 40% chance for storms Tuesday and Wednesday mid 90s. 20% chance for storms Thursday mid 90s. Viva Monsoon 2018!

Forecast for Thursday, July 5, 2018

Daily Forecast, ,

So you’re saying there’s a chance! Before we dive in to a busy forecast let’s start with yesterday. 103 for the third day in a row with a bit of an afternoon breeze. Those temperatures and wind speeds are on the way up along with storm chances. EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING today from 10:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. so be warned, the heat will be excessive. Make sure you stay hydrated lest you burst into flames! Today’s expected of high of 108 is getting too close for comfort to the record of 111. Also. A slight chance for an isolated storm or two this afternoon and evening. It’s still too dry at the surface so IF we see a storm it’s likely to create some strong gusty winds and maybe mostly dry lightning.

Any storms that form will die with the setting sun and the east winds will start to increase overnight keeping our morning low not so low in the low 80s. East winds could gust to 40 mph and so we have a WIND ADVISORY from 3:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.. Be advised, it’s gonna be windy.

Mostly sunny and windy tomorrow like I just mentioned with a high near 104ish.

Moisture on the increase this weekend into next week. Storm chances on the rise! Singing in the rain and dancing in the streets! 10% chance for storms Saturday 105. 30% chance for storms Saturday night! 20% chance for storms Sunday 102 and 40% Sunday night. 40% chance for storms Monday 100. 40% chance for storms Tuesday upper 90s. 40% chance for storms Wednesday mid 90s.

Happy Birthday USA! Hot Dogs and Fireworks. Just like the founding fathers envisioned.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Nature’s fireworks are still on hold as Monsoon 2018 lingers nearby, but not here yet. Lots of sunshine today with what could be the third day in a row with a high of 103. EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING for tomorrow, so be warned, the heat will be excessive with a high of 109ish. East winds kick in tomorrow night with storm chances close to the Metro. We could see a storm, but the official forecast leaves them out, so I will too. Breezy still on Friday with east winds gusting over 30 mph. The good news is the wind is bringing us moisture and scattered storms in the forecast Saturday night into next week. Saturday’s high near 103 with a 20% chance of storms by evening. 30% chance for storms Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with highs of 101, 99 and 99 respectively.

Forecast for Tuesday, July 3, 2018

Daily Forecast

OK Monsoon 2018. We are ready for you to do your thing. Looks like that will be happening this weekend into next week. Until then, kinda hot, but morning coffee on the deck temperatures look downright pleasant the next couple of days. High pressure should establish itself in the Kansas area by Friday, giving us a strong easterly flow. Not only will that help import moisture, but an inverted trough should be riding the bottom of the high into SE Arizona. The combination looks like it will bring us a good chance for storms, especially Sunday night and Monday. Stay tuned!

Sunny today 104. Mostly clear tonight low 70s. Mostly sunny tomorrow 103ish. Hot Thursday 107. Breezy Friday 105. 20% chance for storms Friday night upper 70s. Slight chance for storms Saturday 103. 20% chance for storms Sunday 101. 30% chance for storms Sunday night upper 70s. 30% chance for storms Monday 100.
