Forecast for Monday, October 1, 2018

What a difference a hurricane makes! Tropical Storm Rosa is approaching the northern Baja California coast. Lots of moisture has been pushed into Arizona ahead of Rosa and we are breezy and cool with a few showers about this morning. We did add .01″ to our Monsoon 2018 totals yesterday! Any rain that falls this week will add to October totals, but Monsoon 2018 is done with a final total of 7.02″

OK, back to Rosa. Her expected track is pretty much on track from yesterday’s thinking. Moving between Yuma and Gila Bend late morning tomorrow as a tropical depression. That means another 36 hours or so of good rain chances with embedded thunderstorms, some with heavy rainfall possible. Highs in the mid 80s today and tomorrow. Breezy tomorrow too, especially in the mountains. Could see wind gusts to near 35 mph in the Metro.

Rosa moves out Tuesday night and a trough comes through the state Wednesday. Slight chance for storms as that happens with a high in the upper 80s.

Drier, cooler air moves in behind the trough. Highs in the upper 80s Thursday and Friday with lows in the low 60s! Mid 80s Saturday. 10% Saturday night and Sunday. Sunday’s high in the low 80s. Enjoy!!!
