Triple digit heat in September?! It happens, but it doesn’t mean we have to like it. It is a dry heat, so there’s that. The dewpoint is 60 degrees this morning but that should drop a bit this afternoon. 96 is our average high for this time of year and we’ll be 4-6 degrees higher through the week. 101 yesterday and that is what we are going for this afternoon. 102 tomorrow. Slight chance for a storm or two Wednesday, but just a 10% chance. High near 100ish. 99 Thursday. 101 Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Lows mostly in the mid 70s. Hang in there!

When is a zero percent chance for rain not a zero percent chance for rain? When it’s yesterday! A few sprinkles for a few minutes on my perch here in southern Oro Valley yesterday afternoon! To be fair, a zero percent chance for rain means a zero percent chance for “measurable” rain. So. Since I only got a trace I didn’t get “measurable” rain. Technically we are good! Still. It was a bit of a pleasant surprise.

No surprises in store today and tomorrow. (Sure Mike) High pressure still to our west and nosing into Arizona should keep shower and storm chances to our south near the Mexican Border and to our east near the New Mexican Border. That leaves us with a few puffy afternoon clouds with highs near 101 today, tomorrow and Tuesday. Coffee on the deck lows pleasant enough in the mid 70s.

Our high heads to the southern Rockies by Wednesday giving us a more southerly flow. That should increase our moisture and (in theory) increase our chances for storms Wednesday. One model says, yeah, looking good. Another says, not so much. For now the National Weather Service is going with a 10% chance Wednesday and Wednesday night with a high near 100ish. Stay tuned!

Drying out again late next week in to the weekend. Sunny Thursday 99. 101 Friday and Saturday.

Roses are red. Violets are true. The sun will be bright and the sky will be blue. Highs near 100 and lows near 74. Today’s record is 105 so I guess the heat could be more. Upper 90s Monday and Tuesday with high pressure ruling the roost. Then it moves into New Mexico to give our moisture a boost! Still just a slight chance for storms expected the middle of next week. We’ll just have to wait and see if reality matches that of which I speak.

Have a great weekend! Signed, the friendly folk at Tucson Weather 😎

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

When is a 10% chance for storms not a zero percent chance for storms? When it’s yesterday! Most of us (but not all) with at least a little bit of rain as Monsoon 2018 decided she wanted to hang out one more evening before she ghosts us for awhile. Drier air already moving in and we’ll be on the warm side through the weekend into next week with highs in the upper 90s to near 100ish. Coffee on the deck lows will be pleasantly pleasant with lows in the low 70s. Moisture moving back in next week with a 10% chance for showers and storms Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday with highs in then upper 90s and lows in the low 70s. Enjoy!

Roses are red. Mostly sunny skies are mostly blue. Slight chance for storms. Hopefully near you!

Monsoon 2018 trying to hang in there for us. Unfortunately the trough moving through the state is pushing the moisture east so just a 10% chance this afternoon and evening. High pressure building off the California coast this weekend will put us in a northerly flow and push Monsoon moisture into Mexico. Highs near 100 Saturday and Sunday. Upper 90s Monday and Tuesday. Monsoon moisture heading back our way with a slight chance of storms returning to us Tuesday night and Wednesday. Wednesday’s high in the upper 90s. Lows in the low 70s, so amazing coffee on the deck weather! Enjoy.
