Forecast for Thursday, July 5, 2018

So you’re saying there’s a chance! Before we dive in to a busy forecast let’s start with yesterday. 103 for the third day in a row with a bit of an afternoon breeze. Those temperatures and wind speeds are on the way up along with storm chances. EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING today from 10:00 a.m. until 9:00 p.m. so be warned, the heat will be excessive. Make sure you stay hydrated lest you burst into flames! Today’s expected of high of 108 is getting too close for comfort to the record of 111. Also. A slight chance for an isolated storm or two this afternoon and evening. It’s still too dry at the surface so IF we see a storm it’s likely to create some strong gusty winds and maybe mostly dry lightning.

Any storms that form will die with the setting sun and the east winds will start to increase overnight keeping our morning low not so low in the low 80s. East winds could gust to 40 mph and so we have a WIND ADVISORY from 3:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m.. Be advised, it’s gonna be windy.

Mostly sunny and windy tomorrow like I just mentioned with a high near 104ish.

Moisture on the increase this weekend into next week. Storm chances on the rise! Singing in the rain and dancing in the streets! 10% chance for storms Saturday 105. 30% chance for storms Saturday night! 20% chance for storms Sunday 102 and 40% Sunday night. 40% chance for storms Monday 100. 40% chance for storms Tuesday upper 90s. 40% chance for storms Wednesday mid 90s.

Forecast for Wednesday, July 4, 2018

Happy Birthday USA! Hot Dogs and Fireworks. Just like the founding fathers envisioned.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Nature’s fireworks are still on hold as Monsoon 2018 lingers nearby, but not here yet. Lots of sunshine today with what could be the third day in a row with a high of 103. EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING for tomorrow, so be warned, the heat will be excessive with a high of 109ish. East winds kick in tomorrow night with storm chances close to the Metro. We could see a storm, but the official forecast leaves them out, so I will too. Breezy still on Friday with east winds gusting over 30 mph. The good news is the wind is bringing us moisture and scattered storms in the forecast Saturday night into next week. Saturday’s high near 103 with a 20% chance of storms by evening. 30% chance for storms Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with highs of 101, 99 and 99 respectively.

Forecast for Tuesday, July 3, 2018

OK Monsoon 2018. We are ready for you to do your thing. Looks like that will be happening this weekend into next week. Until then, kinda hot, but morning coffee on the deck temperatures look downright pleasant the next couple of days. High pressure should establish itself in the Kansas area by Friday, giving us a strong easterly flow. Not only will that help import moisture, but an inverted trough should be riding the bottom of the high into SE Arizona. The combination looks like it will bring us a good chance for storms, especially Sunday night and Monday. Stay tuned!

Sunny today 104. Mostly clear tonight low 70s. Mostly sunny tomorrow 103ish. Hot Thursday 107. Breezy Friday 105. 20% chance for storms Friday night upper 70s. Slight chance for storms Saturday 103. 20% chance for storms Sunday 101. 30% chance for storms Sunday night upper 70s. 30% chance for storms Monday 100.

Forecast for Monday, July 2, 2018

Amazing on the deck this morning! Highs near normal with lows in the low to mid 70s through Wednesday. Heating up briefly to near 106 Thursday before the rain chances come. High pressure settling in just north of the Four Corners will put us in a SE flow by the end of the week and into the weekend for an increasing chance for storms, hopefully one or two near you!

Sunny today near 103ish. Low 70s to start the day tomorrow. 102 Tuesday. 103 for the 4th. 106 Thursday with a 20% chance for evening storms. 10% chance for storms Friday 104. 20% chance for storms Friday evening. 10% chance for storms Saturday 102. 20% chance for storms Saturday evening. 20% chance for storms Sunday 101.
