Forecast for Friday, January 3, 2020

Don’t look now, but the airport picked up .02″ of an inch of rain yesterday! We are now on the board for 2020. Not sure that was in the forecast. 🙂 It happens. (it happened!) Let’s take another swing at it shall we? High pressure building in this weekend for a nice warm up. Then a series of storms missing us to the north will knock our temperatures down a bit next week with a slight chance for showers by Thursday. Here we go!

Sorry Phil Collins, but jackets are required this morning. (Phil and I share the same birthday, btw) After a start in the low to mid 30s we should rebound to the low 60s. Not bad.

Sunny and warmer this weekend. Near 70ish tomorrow. Low 70s Sunday. Then we cool down some and add more clouds each day. Mostly sunny Monday upper 60s. Partly cloudy Tuesday upper 60s. Partly sunny Wednesday upper 60s. Slight chance for showers Thursday low 60s. Enjoy!

Forecast for Thursday, January 2, 2020

2020 is the best year ever so far! Let’s hope this trend continues 🙂

Not a lot going on weather-wise. A system well to the north and east is helping to cool us off a bit with maybe a few high clouds for possible sunset enhancement. Today’s high in the upper 50s.

Chilly again tonight (mmm Chili’s) with a low in the mid 30s. Locally near freezing, so keep that in mind.

A warming trend starts tomorrow into the weekend. Low 60s tomorrow. Upper 60s Saturday. Low 70s Sunday. Upper 60s Monday. Mid 60s Tuesday. Partly sunny mid 60s Wednesday. Enjoy!

Forecast for Wednesday, January 1, 2020

It’s a good thing no one writes checks anymore or I swear I’d be putting 2019 on accident for weeks. They say hindsight is 2020 but here it is right in front of us. I am optimistic that this year is gonna be great! Happy 2020!!!

Well that is a first. The National Weather Service is calling for areas of smoke until 8am due to firework celebrations last night. (hopefully your pets are chill and didn’t freak out) So. I guess there will be areas of smoke (and second hand smoke I suppose). Otherwise a sunny day today with a few high clouds for possible sunset enhancement and a high in the low 60s. Scattered College Football Bowl Games possible as well 🙂

Partly cloudy tonight as a system misses us to the NE and E. Low in the upper 30s.

Call it sunny tomorrow (because it’s gonna be) and cooler with a high in the upper 50s. A warming trend for the first weekend of the New Year! low 60s Friday. Upper 60s Saturday. Low 70s Sunday! Upper 60s Monday. Mid 60s Tuesday. Cheers!

Forecast for Tuesday, December 31, 2019

It’s the last day of 2019 and the last day of the 2010s!!! (twenty-tens? twenty-teens?) Where does the time go? The future. The time goes into the future. The last day of the year is always a good time to look back or at least recap. Since there is no rain in the forecast I can confidently say that we will end the year with 13.62″ of rain. That is just over 2 inches above average for 2019. Good job y’all! December really brought it home with 1.20″ this month. Since “forecast” is all about the future, let’s get into it. Instead of getting all Psychic Chloe on you and try to predict the entire new year, how about we just look at the next 7 days or so? Deal.

A system way off the Baja California coast is throwing some clouds our way. Those will decrease later today as the low sinks farther south and east. Call it partly sunny today with a high near 60ish.

Mostly clear tonight and, yes, chilly. (mmm Chili’s) with a low in the mid 30s to start 2020.

Sunny and cool tomorrow, but pleasant in the Sun with a high in the low 60s. A system missing us to the north and east may bring some breezes for Thursday and a bit cooler in the upper 50s. Warming up for the weekend! Low 60s Friday. Near 70ish Saturday. Low 70s Sunday! Upper 60s Monday. Have a prosperous and Happy New Year!!!

Forecast for Sunday, December 30, 2019

I’ve been complaining that the bluetooth mouse I purchased for my laptop broke. (I mean, it did. might have been helpful if I didn’t drop it like three times…) As a result, you have been stuck with random pictures, or screen shots of the National Weather Service’s forecast, instead of my patent pending, handy dandy 3-day Tucson Forecast graphic to go with your daily Tucson Weather forecast. No more!!! Time I (weather)man up! I am sitting at a Dunkin’ Donuts in Lubbock, Texas grinding out a forecast on my laptop complete with graphics sans mouse because I care! Also, it might be work avoidance. (maybe) I do have a ton of emails to get through this morning… but first!

Two systems headed close to our way. The first will miss us to the south and increase our clouds Tuesday and Wednesday with a slight chance for a shower. The second storm misses us to the north keeping us cool Thursday and Friday with best rain and mountain snow shower chances north and east of town.

The HARD FREEZE WARNING expired at 9:00 this morning and sure enough. Everything is frozen solid (cue the singing Olaf!). Not warming a whole lot today with sunshine and a high near 50ish.

Partly cloudy tonight near freezing. Partly sunny tomorrow upper 50s. Slight chance for a shower Tuesday near 60ish. Mostly sunny to start the New Year near 60ish ish. Mostly sunny Thursday upper 50s. Low 60s Friday. Mid 60s Saturday. Enjoy!

I’m leaving for Arizona from Texas early tomorrow morning for an 11+ hour drive. See you Tuesday morning!
