Forecast for Sunday, January 6, 2018

Daily Forecast

Think it’ll rain? Um…. Well over a half inch of rain so far at the airport. Rain falling in the mountains plus melting snow has prompted a FLOOD ADVISORY until 8:45 this morning. Just be advised, there could be flooding! Runoff into some popular creeks such Sabino Creek, for example, could lead to some flooding, so plan accordingly if you are planning on hiking in the mud. (yeah, I didn’t think so) Rain changes to snow in Sumerhaven this morning and they start to rebuild (their snowpack). 3 to 7 inches of snow is expected to fall today. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, we have rain mainly before Noon. Then decreasing clouds with partly cloudy skies by tonight. A weak system may get us Wednesday night/Thursday but it doesn’t look that impressive. Next weekend/early next week could be fun! Stay tuned!

Showers today mainly before noon and a high in the mid 50s. Partly cloudy tonight mid 30s. Sunny tomorrow low 60s. Low 70s Tuesday. Near 70ish Wednesday. 10% Wednesday night and Thursday upper 60s. Sunny Friday and Saturday mid 60s. Enjoy!

Forecast for Saturday, January 5, 2019

Daily Forecast

Increasing clouds today as our next storm approacheth. This system will be tapping in to record amounts of moisture for early January and it will start as a warm system. That means rain, heavy at times, tonight in the mountains. Combine that with melting snow and we should end up with running washes and rivers that are fed from Mountain runoff. I’m looking at you Canada del Oro Wash and Rillioto River and their tributaries. Maybe even flooding concerns as we combine the runoff with up to an inch of rain in the lowlands through tomorrow. Please. Enjoy Winter 2019 responsibly. Rain turns into snow tomorrow in the mountains above 7,500 feet as Summerhaven begins working on a new snow pack. 3 to 7 inches expected there tomorrow.

The storm moves out by Monday and we warm up some Tuesday and Wednesday. A slight chance for showers Wednesday night and Thursday. Then another strong storm possible for next weekend! But we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it. Stay tuned!

Increasing clouds today with a high near 68ish. 80% chance for showers tonight with a low in the mid 40s. 70% chance for showers tomorrow with a high in the low 50s. 20% chance for showers Sunday night upper 30s. Mostly sunny Monday low 60s. Upper 60s Tuesday and Wednesday. 20% Thursday mid 60s. Sunny Friday mid 60s. Enjoy!

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

The warmest day of the week is actually upon as. And. AND. It will be 2 degrees ABOVE average if the forecast comes exactly true. I know. Crazy. Our next storm approacheth tomorrow with increasing clouds and a good chance for rain in here Saturday night and Sunday lingering into Sunday night. Looks like we could get a half inch to an inch of rain in valley locations! For the mountains this storm starts out as rain even at the highest peaks before turning to snow above 7,500 feet on Sunday. That means rain melting snow filling washes and rivers. Should be interesting to see the Rillito become a river again!

All clear by Monday and warming up through the middle of the week. Then another storm heads our way by Thursday/Friday. Stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high near 66ish. Mostly clear tonight with a low in the upper 30s. Increasing clouds tomorrow with a high in the mid 60s. 80% chance for rain Saturday night low 40s. 80% Sunday mid 50s. 30% Sunday night upper 30s. Mostly sunny Monday low 60s.

Forecast for Thursday, January 3, 2019

Daily Forecast,

The HARD FREEZE WARNING is fixin’ to end at 9:00 this morning and then we can start our warming trend. Mid 20s to start the day is rather brisk, so I imagine that you might welcome some sunshine and relative warmth. If you have snow on the ground it will be going from concrete this morning to mostly gone later today. The exception will be up in the mountains and down here in the shade 😎 Our next storm approacheth Saturday with increasing clouds and rain in here by Saturday night. Snow levels will start high and then fall to around 7,500 feet. As you can see this storm is quite a bit warmer than the last few. It has a lot of moisture to work with too. It could be a good soaking for us valley dwellers. Ski Valley on Mt. Lemmon might add quite a bit to their 40″ base! Storm moves along on Monday and we warm up again Tuesday and Wednesday. As I’ve been showing you on the last few livestreams at least one computer model is hinting that a couple more storms are likely heading our way as we head into mid January. Stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high in the mid 50s. Clear skies at night near freezing. Mid 60s tomorrow. Partly sunny mid 60s Saturday. 60% chance for rain Saturday night low 40s. 70% Sunday mid 50s. 10% Monday low 60s. Mostly sunny Tuesday and Wednesday upper 60s to near 70ish! Enjoy!

Forecast for Wednesday, January 2, 2018

Daily Forecast,

It’s snowing! Again. Not everywhere. For example, the radar shows light snow where I live in southern OV, but I’m not seeing any out the window just yet. I am hearing reports of sticking snow in parts of midtown, and the Foothills. Sahuarita, Corona de Tucson, and Vail all getting light snow (half the calories of our regular snow). Light snow also falling at the airport which makes it official! If you are getting snow this morning please let us know. Snow showers in the forecast through the morning hours and our WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY remains in effect until 9:00 this morning with mainly light accumulations in the Metro. Perhaps up to an inch or two in Vail, Corona de Tucson, and Sahuarita/Green Valley.

Skies start to clear this afternoon/evening with temperatures cratering tonight. HARD FREEZE WARNING from 10:00 p.m. until 9:00 tomorrow morning. 24 for a low. Yeah. COLD.

Then we start a bit of a warming trend before our next storm approacheth. Highs actually close to average for this time of year Friday and Saturday. A good chance for rain and mountain snow Saturday night into Monday. Stay tuned!

Snow showers likely this morning with clearing skies later this afternoon and a high in the mid 40s. Mostly clear tonight with a low in the mid 20s. Sunny mid 50s tomorrow. Mid 60s Friday. Partly sunny mid 60s Saturday. 40% chance for showers Saturday night and a 50% chance Sunday upper 50s. 10% Monday low 60s. Sunny upper 60s Tuesday. Enjoy!
