The warm weather, she is upon us, no? Yes! I mean, it’s a chilly start to the day this morning (mmm chili), but pleasant enough by this afternoon with a high in the upper 60s.

I love it when a good plan comes together! Additionally, I pity the fool who doubted the National Weather Service and their 100% chance of rain prediction for the desert! Bold move. Well play NWS. Well played.

.30″ fell at the airport yesterday before midnight and just a trace so far this morning. A few lingering showers about may add to our storm total. Of course your individual amount varied. Snow in them there hills. Summerhaven looks very wintry today. Clearing skies and cool this afternoon with a high only near 60ish. Clear tonight near 40ish (mmm chili).

Increasing clouds tomorrow but no rain expected. Warming up into the upper 60s. Sunny and nice as the weekend is still on track to be perfect for sheltering in place. Low 70s Saturday and upper 70s Sunday!

A series of systems will be moving through Arizona next week. A lot of uncertainty as far as specificity goes, but right now the best action looks like it will be mid to late week. Right now we’ll go with partly sunny Monday upper 70s. A slight chance (10%) for rain Tuesday mid 70s. 20% chance for showers Wednesday low 70s. Stay tuned and enjoy!

Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike. What day is it Mike? The day of the sure thing?

So you’re saying there’s a chance. Not only that, but it’s a lock! I’ll put all my money on measurable rainfall today. The National Weather Service in Joe Namath style has guaranteed measurable rainfall today putting the chance at 100%. I was always told that if it’s too good to be true… But I trust our Meteorologists so I’m pushing all my chips to the center of the table. Seems like a good bet too. A storm system to our west should track right on through today and tonight. .25″ to .50″ of rain expected for valley locations and snow above 6,000 feet. Lingering showers tomorrow morning and then we clear out and warm up. The weekend looks fantastical! Then perhaps a bit of rain in here by Monday. Stay tuned.

Rain today and breezy fo sheezy with SSE winds 15-25 mph and a high in the upper 60s. Showers tonight low 40s. Showers linger perhaps tomorrow morning otherwise clearing skies and a high in the low 60s. Mostly sunny Friday upper 60s. Sunny Saturday mid 70s. Mostly sunny Sunday upper 70s. A 20% chance for rain Monday and Tuesday upper 70s. Enjoy!
