Freezing again yesterday! A low of 32 to start the weekend with a high topping at exactly average for this time of year (66). Warmer this morning and this afternoon with some thin high clouds from time to time for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. More and thicker clouds in here by Monday night and hanging out through Tuesday night. High pressure remains to our west but changes are coming by next weekend. Models are at odds on what will happen exactly. Some say we’ll stay dry next weekend. Others bring in a strong low with valley rain and mountain snow. Right now the smart money is on the drier forecast, but if you like to play the odds go for rain a week from now for a bigger payoff. Either way, it looks like a pattern change to start February. We’ll let the models crunch the numbers (that’s what they do) and see if they can agree by the end of the week. Place your bets and stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high in the low 70s. Mostly clear tonight upper 30s. Sunny tomorrow low 70s. Mostly cloudy Tuesday upper 60s. Mostly sunny Wednesday low 70s. Sunny Thursday low 70s. Sunny Friday near 70ish. Mostly sunny Saturday 70. Enjoy!

Subtle changes that we’ll tweak as we go. High pressure still to our west and we remain in a NW flow. A weak disturbance in the force brought a few high clouds last night and minor cooling today. We are starting out in the low to mid 30s once again this morning with a high expected just a couple of degrees above the January average of (Route) 66. A bit warmer tomorrow and Monday as high pressure noses in just a bit. The pattern switches slightly to a more westerly flow Monday night into Tuesday with more clouds and some cooling as another disturbance rides through. Then it’s mostly sunshine and a bit warmer for the rest of the week. Staying dry, but a hint of some showers to our east maybe Tuesday and Tuesday night. Stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high in the upper 60s. Clear tonight upper 30s. Mostly sunny tomorrow and Monday low 70s. Partly sunny Tuesday upper 60s. Sunny for my birthday near 70ish. Mostly sunny Thursday and Friday low 70s. Enjoy!

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

Yesterday we topped out at exactly average for this time of year with a high of 66. We started the day freezing! (32) which is 8 degrees below average. Mid 30s right now at the airport and today’s high should be a couple of degrees warmer. Lots of sunshine through the weekend, but a few high clouds might give us some sunrise and/or sunset enhancement opportunities. Keep your Nikon Canon Sony Pentax Olympus iPhone Android devices handy just in case. Warming up a bit this weekend with high pressure remaining to our east. A system missing us to the north and east early next week will give us more clouds and cooler temperatures, but we stay through my birthday. Stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high in the upper 60s. Clear tonight mid 30s. Upper 60s tomorrow. Low 70s Sunday and Monday. Mostly sunny Monday 72ish. Partly sunny Tuesday mid 60s. Sunny Wednesday and Thursday low 70s. Enjoy!

Happy Friday Eve! It makes the weekend seem closer…

All quiet on the western front. Some might call it boring even. High pressure to the west will keep us in a NW flow. A couple of weak disturbances in the force will keep us from warming up too much, but we will warm up some. No rain and barely any clouds in the forecast through the weekend. Staying chilly at night (mmm chili) with lows in the upper 30s to low 40s into next week. Highs bouncing back and forth from the upper 60s to low 70s. Stay Tuned!

It was chilly yesterday (mmm chili) with a bit of a NW breeze adding an extra chill especially if you were in the shade. Let the warming trend begin! Although today won’t be all that warm it will still be warmer than yesterday’s high of 56. 70s return by Friday and last through the weekend. Slight cool off early next week but staying dry. Stay tuned!

Meteorology. Meteor from the Greek meaning “from the sky” and ology is “the study of”. So. When I tell you I saw a small fireball or “large” (larger than the usual grain to pebble size) just before 4:50 this morning, that totally fits what we are doing here. Even though I’m not a meteorologist, I sorta play one on FB 🙂 Anyway, it was travelling north to south and I saw a couple pieces break off of the main meteor as it burned across the southern Arizona sky. Pretty cool way to start that day! It was also cool out on the deck with my first cup of coffee. Officially we are starting out in the upper 30s with a wind chill (yes, a wind chill!) in the mid 30s. The cold air is still settling in behind yesterday’s cold front. The good news is that the wind will be relaxing today. The bad news is today’s high will only be in the 50s with a low near freezing tonight. My plants on the deck don’t mind. They get to come in and watch TV! Warming up as we go through the week with a return of that 70s show by Thursday and rerunning through the weekend. Stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high in the upper 50s. Clear tonight near freezing. Sunny low 60s tomorrow. Near 70ish Thursday. Low 70s Friday. Near 70ish Saturday. Low 70s Sunday and Monday. Enjoy!

79 yesterday! Wow! Also, the NFC AND AFC Championship games went into overtime. Wow! It was a pretty amazing day. Now we looking into the future and see temperatures falling fast. A storm missing us to the north will kick up the winds of change today with south winds 10-20 mph become NW in the afternoon and gusting to near 30. Breezy tonight too with winds relaxing after midnight. MUCH cooler tomorrow followed by a warm up the rest of the week into the weekend. Enjoy!

Mostly sunny and breezy with a high near 70ish. Mostly clear tonight mid 30s. Sunny tomorrow mid 50s. Freezing Wednesday morning with a high in the low 60s. Upper 60s Thursday and Friday. Near 70ish Saturday. Low 70s Sunday. Enjoy!

70 yesterday and warmer today as high pressure invades the land. Enjoy the warmth because a chill in the air will soon be here. A storm approacheth and will bring a few clouds today and a few more tonight. I think we’ll still get some good views of tonight’s Super (cool) Blood Moon and the partly cloudiness might even provide some extra excellent visuals. We’ll find out tonight starting just after 8:40 and lasting 3 hours or so. Gusty winds for us as the storm moves through northern Arizona tomorrow and a dramatic cool down behind the system. Looks like a freezing morning Wednesday before we start a gradual warm up the rest of the week. Stay Tuned.

Mostly sunny today with a high in the mid 70s! Partly cloudy tonight with a low in the mid 40s. Sunny tomorrow and breezy (OK, kinda windy) with SSW winds 10-20 mph gusting to near 30 and a high in the upper 60s. Sunny Tuesday mid 50s! Sunny Wednesday near 60ish. Mid 60s Thursday and Friday. Upper 60s Saturday. Enjoy!

Finally! An opportunity to rub it in to your friends in the Midwest and “back east”. While they deal with a major snowstorm we a “dealing” with a nice warm up (you know, if you’re into that sort of thing). Our old pal high pressure moving in for a couple of days. Today and especially tomorrow will be quite pleasant. Gusty winds on Monday as a storm missing us to the north will drop our temperatures back below average, but we will have our memories. Warming up some by the end of next week and staying dry. Stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high in the upper 60s. Clear tonight low 40s. Mostly sunny tomorrow mid 70s! SSW winds 10-20 mph gusting to near 25 on MLK Day and a high near 70ish.

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

Our exiting storm that missed us to the north will bring us some gusty NW breezes today. High and low near the averages of the highs and lows recorded over the last three decades by the ancients. Then a bit of high pressure mixed with a healthy dose of southern Arizona Sun and you get some southern Arizona fun! Everybody into the pool! Sunday is looking downright toasty. Don’t get used to it just yet. The next storm to miss us to the north will knock us back below average by Tuesday. Another warming trend after that. Stay tuned!

Mostly sunny today with a high in the mid 60s and NW breezes 5-15 mph and gusty. Mostly clear tonight with a low in the upper 30s. Sunny tomorrow upper 60s. Upper 70s Sunday! Low 70s for MLK Day. Near 60ish Tuesday. Low 60s Wednesday. Upper 60s Thursday.
