It’s Friday Eve. Makes the weekend seem closer!

Heating up as we go too. Interesting day and hopefully not too frustrating. Tons of moisture in place with a dewpoint of 70 this morning. As we heat up to the upper 90s this afternoon it will likely feel more like the low 100s thanx to that humidity. So. Will we get sweet relief from scattered storms? Maybe. Drier air above our heads will inhibit storm development some. Storms forming on the mountains no problem, but if storm anvil’s precede the storms themselves we may cut off needed lift to keep storms going. Lots of energy in the atmosphere though, so if we do manage storms, some may be on the strong to severe side! So many possibilities on how this may play out. We’ll go with a slight chance for storms this afternoon and scattered storms this evening with a muggy day in between. Today’s high near 98 feeling like 102.

Breezy tonight with a 30% chance for storms and a low in the upper 70s. ESE winds gusting to around 25 mph.

Isolated storms tomorrow with scattered activity tomorrow evening. High near 100. 10% chance for storms Saturday near 100ish. Mostly sunny Sunday 102. 108 Monday and Tuesday! Yikes! 10% chance Wednesday only 104.

Monsoon 2018 is off to a terrific start for most of us, although there are some exceptions. A downturn is in our forecast, but not a complete shutdown. Isolated storms possible today and this evening with most of the activity in the mountains, but perhaps one near you too. Today’s high in the upper 90s with a low tomorrow morning in the upper 70s. Still very pleasant on the deck for morning coffee!

Just a 10% chance for afternoon storms tomorrow but that goes up to 30% by evening. High near 99. (99, I’ve been waiting so long. 99, where did we go wrong? Oh 99…. I love you.)

10% chance Friday near 100ish. 10% Saturday 101. Sunny Sunday 103. 106 Monday! 10% Tuesday 106. Moisture coming back mid next week. Stay tuned!

Showers and storms yesterday evening with Oro Valley once again being the big winner. Storms were moving fast enough that even the heavy rain in the NW part of town was relatively brief. The airport picked up a tenth of an inch, so the Monsoon totals continue to increase almost daily. However. We are fixin’ to apply the breaks. Drier air moving in from the east will limit our storm chances today, although we will end up on the edge of the dry air, so maybe we’ll get storms after all. (how’s that for hedging my bets?) It will be close with the better chances to our west. Today’s high in the upper 90s. A better chance for storms tonight with SW breezes 10-20 mph and gusty and a low in the mid 70s.

Drier tomorrow with just a 10% chance for rain and a high in the mid 90s. 10% chance Thursday with a high in the upper 90s. 10% Friday near 101ish. 20% Saturday 101. Zero% Sunday and Monday with highs near 103 and 105 respectively. Enjoy.

What a weekend! Highs both days only in the 80s with refreshing morning rain. The heat is returning by the end of the week, but we still have a few more days of hit and miss storms. Hopefully they’ll hit near you!

Still plenty of moisture in place today with scattered afternoon and evening storms possible and a high in the mid 90s.

Scattered showers and storms tonight with a low in the upper 70s.

Scattered storms tomorrow with a high in the upper 90s.

Drier air working it’s way our way as we enter the second half of the week and high pressure building in by this weekend as well. Storm chances waning with only isolated storms raining. Highs getting higher as the air gets drier. Still a 20% chance for storms Wednesday mid 90s. 20% Thursday upper 90s. 20% Friday 101ish. 20% Saturday 102. 10% Sunday 104. Viva Monsoon 2018!
