So gorgeous on the deck with a cup of coffee this morning! Temperature near 70 with a dewpoint near 60. Lots of sunshine today, but with enough moisture hanging in there for a storm or two possible this evening, hopefully near you. As high pressure builds to our west a northerly flow will push Monsoon 2018 back into Mexico. The drier air will give us higher highs, but still pleasant lows through the weekend into next week. Enjoy!

I’m not giving up on Monsoon 2018 just yet. So far 6.20″ has fallen for the season officially at the airport. Already past the average TOTAL Monsoon of 6.06″ and well above the average Monsoon to date (as of Sept. 2nd) of 4.91″. Officially we are doing really well and we still have a couple three weeks to add to the totals.

Meanwhile back to the forecast. Sunny tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday with highs in the upper 90s and lows in the low to mid 70s. 100ish Sunday. Upper 90s Monday and Tuesday.

Monsoon 2018. She’s hanging in there at least one more day after a very quiet Labor Day. There was a lone storm over Oracle last evening. Otherwise, it was a mostly sunny and cool day! You know. By Tucson Labor Day standards. Another cool day today near 93 with enough moisture for a storm or three this afternoon, hopefully near you! Better chances to our east and that’s where they’ll remain for the rest of the week. Warming up as the weekend approacheth. Sunny mid 90s tomorrow. Upper 90s Thursday and Friday. Near 100ish Saturday. Upper 90s Sunday and Monday. Enjoy!

Amazing Monsoon 2018 day yesterday! Almost everyone getting in on the action. There was hail, big time rain, vivid lightning and generally tons of Monsoon fun. Storm action winding down this week, but still a chance for a storm or three this afternoon. Hopefully near you. Today’s high 5 degrees below the average of 97. Upper 60s right now on the deck and we’ll do that again tomorrow morning. So nice. Low 90s tomorrow with a slight chance for a storm. Mid 90s with sunshine Wednesday. Upper 90s Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Mid 90s Sunday. Enjoy!

Yesterday was fun! Some folks got decent rain as the definition of scattered storms popped up across the Metro. If you didn’t get rained on you can hold out hope for this afternoon and tonight! Our system to the north will creep a bit more south today giving us an enhanced chance for showers and storms, hopefully near you. Temperatures will be quite pleasant for this time of year with highs in the low 90s and lows near 70 expected through Tuesday. Drier air returns after that with mid 90s Wednesday and  10% chance for storms. Mostly sunny Thursday and Friday upper 90s. Upper 90s Saturday with a 10% chance for storms.

In Meteorology the Fall Months are September, October and November. So. Welcome to Fall! Summer and Monsoon 2018 not giving up quite so easily yet. Moisture is here and a trailing trough from a storm passing to our north should spark a few storms today and especially tomorrow night. Hopefully near you! Storm chances linger into Labor Day before we dry out for much of next week. Monsoon starts to wind down in September as we know. But. We may still have our moments before we are done!

Mostly sunny today with a 20% chance for storms starting perhaps as early as 11:00 this morning with storm chances into the evening hours. High in the upper 90s. Low in the low 70s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow with just a 10% chance for afternoon storms, but a 40% chance tomorrow night! High in the mid 90s. Low in the upper 60s!

20%/10% Labor Day low 90s. Mostly sunny Tuesday mid 90s. 10%/10% Wednesday mid 90s. Mostly sunny Thursday upper 90s. 10% Friday mid 90s. Enjoy!
