Forecast for Thursday, April 30, 2020

Happy Friday Eve. It makes the weekend seem closer 🙂

We tied the record of 102 yesterday and it was the first 100 degree day of the year. About three weeks earlier than average. No big deal. EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING for this afternoon with a record breaking high of 103 expected. If we can manage 104 we will tie the all time hottest April day on record. Something to root for!

Then it’s a “cool down” as we start May. Upper 90s tomorrow and breezy fo sheezy with SW winds 15-20 mph gusting to 30. High in the upper 90s. Upper 90s both days this weekend sans the wind. Monday and Tuesday too. Near 101ish Wednesday. Be Cool!

Forecast for Saturday, March 16, 2019

Well that escalated quickly! An upper level low centered near Rocky Point this morning has pulled some moisture northward and as it appraoceth today we could add enough instability for the National Weather Service to introduce thunderstorms to our forecast! (thunderstorms meet forecast. Forecast, thunderstorms) It’s one of the things I love about weather. It can still surprise us. Still a bit of an east wind today but not as breezy as the last couple of days. Our old pal high pressure still fixin’ to move our way to start next week with the 80s making a comeback! (I wanted to be with you alone. and talk about the weather…) Another storm heading our way by Thursday for cooler Tucson Weather and a chance for showers.

Mostly sunny today with a 20% chance for thunderstorms. East breezes 10-15 mph and gusty. Today’s high in the mid 70s. Mostly clear tonight upper 40s. Sunny tomorrow and Monday upper 70s. Low 80s Tuesday and Wednesday. 10% Thursday mid 70s. 20% Thursday night upper 40s. Mostly sunny Friday low 70s. Enjoy!

This section is the hard part. I have excepted a job that requires extensive travel and a pretty good chance that I will be moving to Phoenix. I start on Monday. So. This is my last forecast on this page and at tucsonweather.us. I’ve been doing this every morning (with rare exception) for the last almost 9 years! We’ve built a solid community of weather enthusiasts and I hate to let it go. Unfortunately I don’t see how I can continue with my new responsibilities. Thank you all SO MUCH. To the Patreons, I will be shutting that down today most likely. Amazing that some of you would think that my fun hobby is worthy of financial support. I’ll keep the Facebook page open and maybe even post from time to time. THANK YOU!!!

Beware the Ides of March! Backstabbers are one thing. Today’s east wind is another. High pressure building to our east will cause our east winds to increase today. Prolly gusting over 30 mph at times. A weak and dry system approacheth from California and will move over the state tonight and tomorrow with some clouds and breezy conditions. Even still a warming trend commenceth today into next week. The 80s return perhaps as early as Monday! Could see showers and some cooling late in the week. Enjoy!

Increasing clouds and increasing breezes with east winds 15-25 mph gusting over 30. Today’s high in the low 70s. Partly cloudy and breezy tonight with east winds 15-20 mph and gusty. Tonight’s low in the upper 40s. Sunny tomorrow with east breezes 10-20 mph and a high in the mid 70s. Sunny Sunday upper 70s. Upper 70s to near 80ish Monday. Low 80s Tuesday and Wednesday. Mostly sunny with a 10% chance for showers Thursday mid 70s.
