This persistent high pressure is persistent on persisting causing a lot of perspiring. It’s pitching in the triple digits bringing the high heat. (I know. I mixed my metaphors there) 105 yesterday! Just a couple of degrees from the record. Today we “cool” off to 103 if the forecast comes exactly true. Very close to today’s record of 105 set in 1928. I say we skip it. Perhaps some relief pitching with a “cooling” trend continuing into next week. “Only” 100ish tomorrow and Monday. 99 Tuesday. Moisture set to return as early as Tuesday night! Monsoon 2018’s Swan Song? Hopefully not, but there is a 10% chance for a storm near you Tuesday night. 30% Wednesday and Thursday low 90s!  20% Friday low 90s. Hang in there!

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

Got any other great news Captain Obvious? Well, since you asked…

It will be cooling off a bit this weekend and a bit more next week. Moisture returns for a chance of storms Wednesday, but will Monsoon 2018 stay after that? We don’t know. Nobody knows. She’s gonna do what she’s gonna do. Hopefully she’ll stay past Thursday, but we have to start getting used to the idea that our time together is almost done. Parting is such sweet sorrow especially when our pal High Pressure takes her place. 104 today, 102 tomorrow. 100ish Sunday. 99 (I’ve been waiting so long) Monday. 100 Tuesday. 20% Wednesday upper 90s. 10% Thursday mid 90s. Stay Tuned!

Roses are red
Violets are, um, violet
The weather in Arizona
is awfully quiet

Persistent high pressure
with highs pretty high
unrelenting sunshine
with a pretty blue sky

Coffee outside
is still a nice treat
with lows in the 70s
pretty hard to beat

What’s a Tucsonan to do
when September is like May
drink lots of water
and like Mom said, go outside and play!

Thanx for putting up with my cheesy rhyme. Monsoon 2018 hasn’t ghosted us completely yet. She may return to us next week! A 20% chance for storms on Wednesday! Until then our streak of 100+ degree days continues. 102 today. 104 tomorrow! (the record is 107 so…) 103 Saturday. 100ish Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. 20% Wednesday 98.

Outstanding on the deck again this morning! Just looking for the silver lining in a forecast that doesn’t include clouds. High pressure in control and our our hotness can’t be contained this September. Lows pleasant enough in the low to mid 70s. High near 102 today. 101 tomorrow. 103 Friday and Saturday! 100ish Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Hopefully the pool is still warm enough to enjoy. Enjoy!

Welp. Summer lingers as the middle of September approacheth. Not the fun scattered showers Monsoon 2018 form of Summer. No, it’s the it’s a dry heat iteration. It’s not June hot, but compared to our average of 96 for this time of year it’s kinda hot. Our slight chance of rain for tomorrow has evaporated. High pressure still hanging around confining storm chances to the mountains of SE Cochise County and near the New Mexico border (which is not here). A few puffy clouds in the afternoon and evening otherwise clear skies and on the hot side through the weekend. 102 this afternoon. 101 tomorrow and Thursday. 102ish Friday and Saturday. 100 Sunday. 99 Monday. Consolation prizes include “at least it’s a dry heat” and really nice for morning coffee on the patio/deck with lows in the low to mid 70s. Enjoy!
