It’s here! Moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Bud have arrived on the first official day of Monsoon 2018. Pretty darn exciting! Already light rain showers across the area this morning. That is expected to increase as we go through the AM. Mostly light showers before Noon, but maybe enough to break the 5th longest dry streak in Tucson’s history. It’ll be a cloudy day as well, but if we do manage some breaks in the clouds that will increase our chances for a few thunderstorms, some of which may bring locally heavy rainfall. Today’s high near 90, if that. Record rainfall for June 15th is .15″. Let’s try to break that record! On top of all that, it’s Friiidaaay!!!

Cue Rod Stewart, “Tonight’s the Night”. Prime time for Bud to shine, er, I mean rain. Should be numerous showers with an embedded storm or two possible. Locally heavy rainfall also possible. Low tomorrow morning in the upper 60s.

Rain ending tomorrow morning, but an upper level low heading our way from southern California should move across the area giving us a chance for afternoon storms! Otherwise call it mostly cloudy with a high in the upper 80s.

A trough to our north should scour out our moisture on Sunday with sunshine and a high in the mid 90s. Mid 90s Monday. Upper 90s Tuesday. Near 100ish Wednesday and Thursday. VIVA MONSOON 2018!
