We are going from chilly (mmm chili) to downright COLD. Our next Winter storm approacheth and it promises to bring rain and mountain snow tonight. WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY above 5,000 feet has been issued starting at 8:00 tonight until 8:00 tomorrow morning. The official forecast for Sumerhaven is calling for 5 to 9 inches of snow possible tonight! Meanwhile back in the Metro the question is will we snow in the morning? The answer is… I really don’t know. It’s going to be close! Snow levels falling to near 3,000 feet by daybreak. So. Will there still be showers around at daybreak or will the storm be done by then. If there are showers around we might have some snow falling tomorrow morning in and around town. I’ll be up early looking just in case!!!

OK. So then the storm is out of here tomorrow with COLD air in its wake. FREEZE WATCH is in effect for the Metro Saturday morning midnight to 9:00 a.m. and Sunday morning Midnight to 9:00 a.m. Pets, People, Pipes, Plants. Oh, and, consider letting the teenagers sleep in the house. Staying on the cool side through New Years Day and then warming slight by mid next week. Be cool! But stay warm.

Increasing clouds today with a high in the upper 50s. Showers likely tonight after midnight with a low in the mid 30s. Sunny tomorrow low 50s. Mostly clear Saturday morning upper 20s. Sunny Saturday low 50s. Clear skies Sunday morning upper 20s. Sunny Sunday low 50s. Mostly clear Monday morning near freezing. Sunny Monday upper 50s. Near 30ish New Years morning mid 50s by afternoon. Near 30ish Wednesday morning low 60s by afternoon.

The road to Summerhaven is closed this morning but looking at the Simply Bits cameras it looks like they only got maybe 4″-6″ inches of snow? .20 inches of rain at the airport with a few lingering showers possible still this morning. We’ll take it! Moving forward the biggest weather headline is the COLD. Another system in here by tomorrow night with snow levels down to 3,500 feet perhaps. Snow in Saddlebrook? Catalina? Maybe. For sure it will be cold behind the storm. Saturday and Sunday mornings in the upper 20s, so make sure your outside plants put on their Winter coats. It’ll stay on the cool side the rest of the year. The bad news is the computer models have cancelled the storm for New Year’s Day. Stay tuned for any changes, because, you know. It’s the weather!

Becoming mostly sunny this afternoon after a chance for lingering showers this morning and a high in the upper 50s. Partly cloudy tonight mid 30s. Mostly sunny tomorrow upper 50s. 50% tomorrow night mid 30s. 10% Friday low 50s. Sunny Saturday low 50s. Mostly sunny Sunday low 50s. Upper 50s Monday and New Years Day.

Merry Christmas! I hope all of your dreams are coming true 🙂

I’m liking this forecast. LOTS of snow in them there hills expected. A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect from 5pm today until 5pm tomorrow. The official forecast for Summerhaven states: total daytime (today) accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible. New snow accumulation (tonight) 6 to 10 inches possible. Shut the front the door!!! Amazing. Maybe I’ll head that way this afternoon. For us valley dwellers the wind has already started to pick up as our storm approacheth. Showers should be developing this afternoon with rain and thunderstorms a good bet for tonight. Some spots could get a half inch of rain. Most will top out near a third of an inch. And. Some folks might not get much at all. (sorry about that chief) Lingering showers tomorrow and a break on Thursday. Then another storm in here for Thursday night/Friday. Will it snow down to the valley floor? Maybe. It WILL be cold. Upper 20s expected Saturday and Sunday mornings. You might want to let the teenagers actually sleep inside this weekend. Stay tuned!

Partly sunny today with a 20% chance for afternoon showers and a high in the mid 60s. SW winds gusting to near 30 mph. Showers and possibly a thunderstorm tonight with a low near 40ish. Scattered showers tomorrow mid 50s. Mostly sunny Thursday upper 50s. 30% Thursday night mid 30s. 20% Friday low 50s. Mostly sunny Saturday mid 50s. Sunny Sunday upper 50s. Mostly sunny Monday upper 50s. Enjoy!

’twas the day before Christmas and all through the house. Not a creature was stirring including my ex spouse! (I mean, she moved and stuff so… ) The weather was warm with plenty of Sun. But changes were coming before Christmas was done! Increasing clouds and increasing wind. Rain and mountain snow in the afternoon will begin. Five to seven inches in Summerhaven maybe. Up to half inch of rain in the Metro baby! Showers and storms will leave us on Wednesday. But more cold weather still headed our way. Will it snow in Tucson? We still don’t know. Winter has arrived! Santa and at least mountain snow. Merry Christmas!

Sunny today mid 70s. Mostly clear tonight mid 40s. 30% chance for showers tomorrow afternoon mid 60s. 80% tomorrow night with snow levels dropping to near 5,000 feet.

You better not pout. You better not cry. You better not whine. I’m telling you why. Rain and snow is coming to town! You read (sang) that right. Rain AND snow is coming. To town! It’s what I was alluding to during yesterday’s FB Live. These storms this week will be cold and colder. So. Maybe some snow down to the valley floor before the week is over! Not expecting a lot to stick or anything like that, but the word snow is in the official forecast. I’m pretty pumped about it.

But. First things first. Our beautiful four day (for most) weekend continues with lots of sunshine and warm temperatures. Some high cloudiness for hopefully more sunrise and sunset enhancement. Then our Christmas storm blows in.

It’ll be breezy/windy ahead of the cold front and a chance for a few showers Christmas afternoon. The front blows through Christmas evening and that’s when the fun really begins. Scattered showers and thunderstorms Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Could see .2 – .4″ of rain in valley locations. Snow begins above 7,000 feet Christmas afternoon and the snow level drops to near 5,000 feet Wednesday morning. The official forecast for Summerhaven is for less than half an inch of snow Christmas afternoon and 2-4″ Tuesday night. Could see up to 7″ at Ski Valley.

A break in the action Thursday but cool. Next chance of rain in here by Thursday night into Saturday with a chance for rain AND snow showers Friday night and Saturday morning. Stay tuned!

Mostly sunny today mid 70s. Low 70s tomorrow. Breezy Christmas with a 30% chance for showers. SE wind 10-20 mph and gusty becoming WSW in the afternoon and a high in the upper 60s. 60% chance for showers and storms Tuesday night upper 30s. 20% Wednesday mid 50s. Mostly sunny Thursday upper 50s. 20% Thursday night and Friday mid 50s. 20% chance for rain and snow showers Friday night near freezing. Slight chance for rain and snow showers Saturday morning low 50s. Enjoy!
