Everybody loves a parade! Well. Not everybody will love this one (although many will). It is what it is. I hear a lot of people are complaining about this cold Winter. As my Dad used to say, “I’ll give you something to complain about!” A series of Winter storms are fixin’ to move through. The next couple of weeks look cold, wet, and yes, even snowy. A nice weekend with a lot of sunshine, but cool. Highs only in the 50s which is about 10 – 12 degrees below average.

Storm number one should start to move in Sunday night with a chilly rain (mmm chili) through Monday and Monday night. Snow levels crashing down with rain AND snow possible in the Metro Tuesday morning! Will Vail, Corona de Tucson, Catalina, and Saddlebrooke see accumulating snow? It could happen, but this storm doesn’t have a ton of moisture, so an inch or three max if it happens. The National Weather Service is saying 5″-9″ inches above 7,000 feet. 2″-5″ between 5,000 and 7,000 feet. A trace to 3″ between 3,500 and 5,000 feet. So you’re saying there’s a chance. Yeah. It’s gonna be close. Rain amounts should stay below a third of an inch for valley locations.

Storm number two looks MUCH wetter with significant mountain snow and valley rain late Thursday into Friday. It’s a cold one too. How low will the snow go? Plenty of time to sort that out, but it’s going to stay much cooler than normal.

Storm number three? It’s a ways out, but it’s looking that way in say 10 days or so. Stay tuned!

Mostly sunny today with a high in the upper 50s. Mostly clear tonight mid 30s. Sunny mid 50s tomorrow. 20% chance for showers Sunday night mid 30s. Showers likely for George’s Birthday upper 40s. 40% Monday night near freezing. Slight chance (20%) for rain AND snow showers Tuesday morning then mostly sunny and a high near 50ish. Freezing to start the day Wednesday with mostly sunny skies and a high in the mid 50s. 20% chance Thursday upper 50s. 40% Thursday night upper 30s. Showers likely Friday (60%) and breezy upper 50s. Enjoy!
