Cicadas don’t lie! I’ve been hearing then for the past 8 days now and sure enough a few showers and storms yesterday afternoon hit mainly south of Davis-Monthan AFB, Corona de Tucson, Vail, Rita Ranch and the far east side of town. I did drive through a few drops on Aviation Parkway as I approached downtown after work and a few more on Oracle around Prince I think. In any event it was nice to see some lightning and rain! We still have some moisture hanging out today. Listen to the Cicadas “singing” again today with a chance for a few storms mainly east of Tucson, but we could pop up one or two in town. Not as hot as our high pressure will be making a slow exit to the east over the next couple of days taking some of the moisture with it. Then a storm moving through the Great Basin will bring some breezes and cooler temperatures Sunday into next week. Monsoon 2017 is getting warmed up! Stay tuned.
Mostly sunny today with a high near 103.
Mostly clear tonight with a low in the low 70s.
Sunny tomorrow near 104ish. 102 Saturday. Breezy upper 90s Sunday. Upper 90s Monday and Tuesday. Near 100 Wednesday.
