Forecast for Tuesday, December 11, 2018

A system missing us to the south then another missing us to the north. Maybe enough of a hit from system number three for some rain and mountain snow by the weekend. The models are still arguing about that… However, the result will be cooler weather as we hustle and bustle through the week. High clouds today and tonight could mean sunrise and sunset enhancement. That’s always nice. Turning a bit cooler as a closed low moves through northern Sonora. Then more cool air as a trough moves through the Four Corners. Neither system with the courtesy to bring us rain. Hopefully we’ll fix that this weekend, but like I said, the computer models are still disagreeing. We’ll all just have to stay tuned!

Partly sunny today with a high in the low 70s. Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the low 40s. Mostly sunny tomorrow upper 60s. Mid 60s Thursday. Upper 60s Friday. Partly sunny upper 60s Saturday. Slight chance for showers upper 60s Sunday. Mostly sunny upper 60s Monday.

Forecast for Monday, December 10, 2018

Our next system approacheth, but it’s only bring increasing high clouds and some bluster. Perhaps sunrise and sunset enhancement the next couple of days!

Record rainfall yesterday! .64″ fell at the airport and we are now 1.80 inches above average for the year. (The daily Almanac is always posted at www.tucsonweather.us if you ever have a need or desire to look it up) We’ll take it! I mean, not like we have a choice… For Sun lovers it’s your turn for a day or two. A warming trend too. However, increasing clouds and breezy on Monday as our next system approacheth. Rain chances increasing Tuesday night into Wednesday. Computer models yesterday were saying no big deal. Now they are saying maybe some good rains. Once again, we’ll lock ’em in a room until they can be a little more consistent. Stay tuned! Then it’s sunshine to close out next week.

Forecast for Friday, December 7, 2018

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

Showers and even a few thunderstorms last night and overnight. Reminds of growing up in Oregon. No worries if rainy days and Fridays always get you down (well, rainy days anyways). The Sun returns tomorrow. A break in the rain this morning and some clearing for some has caused fog to form in some areas. So. In an abundance of caution the National Weather Service has issued a DENSE FOG ADVISORY until 9:00 this morning. Be advised. If there is fog it might be dense. Otherwise it’s rain chances increasing today as the storm still centered near San Diego marches through Arizona. Could be a thunderstorm thrown in as well. Rain should end sometime tonight and hey, maybe some fog by Saturday morning. Warming up a bit with sunshine this weekend into early next week. Then a system missing us to the north and east will cool us off mid to late week. Stay tuned!

80% chance of showers today and maybe a storm with a high near 62ish. 40% chance for showers tonight becoming partly cloudy with patchy fog possible after 2am and a low in the low 40s. Patchy fog possible to start the day tomorrow becoming mostly sunny upper 60s. Sunny Sunday upper 60s. Partly sunny Monday, and Tuesday upper 60s. Mostly sunny Wednesday mid 60s. Low 60s Thursday. Enjoy!
