Forecast for Thursday, February 14, 2019

Daily Forecast,

“Let your love flow… like a mountain stream… and let your love show and you’ll know what I mean…” Um. Those mountain streams will be flowin’ tonight! And I’m not (just) being metaphorical. There is an actual FLOOD WATCH for mountain streams from tonight at 6:00 until tomorrow morning at 11:00. Heavy rain in the mountains, especially west and southwest facing slopes, could lead to heavy runoff. Pay especially close attention to Sabino Creek, Tanque Verde Creek, Rincon Creek and the Canada del Oro Wash. So what in the world is going on?! A river of tropical moisture is moving through through tomorrow. As the moisture gets lifted by the mountains they could see 2 to 3 inches of rain with higher amounts in some areas. Crazy! Meanwhile, a nice soaking expected in valley locations with a half inch to three-quarters for most of us. Prime time is tonight, but we may see a few showers by this afternoon.

The weekend looks sunny but cool. Then a colder system drops in with rain and mountain snow chances Sunday night through Monday night. Snow levels Monday night could crash down to the valley floors perhaps. Lots of time to sort that out. Either way, colder temperatures are returning to us. Stay tuned!

Cloudy today with showers likely by this afternoon and evening and a high in the low 70s. Showers and breezy tonight with WSW winds gusting to near 30 mph and a low in the mid 50s. Showers likely tomorrow morning and then tapering off with mostly cloudy skies and a high in the upper 60s. Mostly sunny Saturday and Sunday with highs in the upper 50s to near 60ish. A 30% chance for showers Sunday night and 40% for Washington’s Birthday (Happy Birthday George!) and a high in the low 50s. 30% Monday night and then clearing with a low near freezing. Mostly sunny Tuesday 55ish. Upper 50s Wednesday.

Daily Forecast

Yesterday’s high out performed the expectation as we topped out at 72 after starting the day at just 29 degrees. Another warm day today with not nearly as cold of a start. Quite a bit of cloud cover along with some sunshine today as our next system approacheth. The storm is located off the Oregon coast and it is pulling copious amounts of moisture northward into southern Arizona. As the storm draws neigh (it will actually miss us to the north, but close enough to spark showers) we should see a good chance for showers starting tomorrow and lasting into Friday. Snow levels will be very high with rain in Summerhaven for the most part. The sun returns this weekend, but with falling temperatures. Then it gets really interesting next week. Rain chances start to increase Sunday night into Monday with snow levels perhaps as low as 3,000 to 4,000 feet Monday night! I’m looking at you Corona de Tucson, Vail, Saddlebrooke, and Catalina. How low will the snow go? We’ll all find out together. Stay tuned!

Partly sunny today with a high in the low 70s. Mostly cloudy tonight with a low near 50ish. Mostly cloudy tomorrow with a 50% chance for showers and a high near 70ish. 70% chance for rain tomorrow night and breezy with a low in the mid 50s. 40% chance Friday upper 60s. Mostly sunny Saturday and Sunday low 60s. 30% for Washington’s Birthday mid 50s. 30% Monday night mid 30s! 10% Tuesday mid 50s. Enjoy!

A break in the action Saturday with a slight chance for rain by Sunday. Early next week is starting to look interesting. It’s early yet, but we could (could) be looking at a rather cold storm with rather low snow levels. Stay tuned!
