When is a zero percent chance for rain not a zero percent chance for rain? When it’s yesterday! A few sprinkles for a few minutes on my perch here in southern Oro Valley yesterday afternoon! To be fair, a zero percent chance for rain means a zero percent chance for “measurable” rain. So. Since I only got a trace I didn’t get “measurable” rain. Technically we are good! Still. It was a bit of a pleasant surprise.

No surprises in store today and tomorrow. (Sure Mike) High pressure still to our west and nosing into Arizona should keep shower and storm chances to our south near the Mexican Border and to our east near the New Mexican Border. That leaves us with a few puffy afternoon clouds with highs near 101 today, tomorrow and Tuesday. Coffee on the deck lows pleasant enough in the mid 70s.

Our high heads to the southern Rockies by Wednesday giving us a more southerly flow. That should increase our moisture and (in theory) increase our chances for storms Wednesday. One model says, yeah, looking good. Another says, not so much. For now the National Weather Service is going with a 10% chance Wednesday and Wednesday night with a high near 100ish. Stay tuned!

Drying out again late next week in to the weekend. Sunny Thursday 99. 101 Friday and Saturday.
