Our old pal high pressure has returned and he is bringing gifts! Sunshine and warmth for all the good boys and girls of southern Arizona. Be sure and thank him by heading to the park or tormenting your friends and family in colder climes. Make hay while the sun shines! He can’t stick around too long. Sunny days in the 70s in December. There are worse things. A series of weak storms will be moving through through the weekend. No real threat for rain or mountain snow, but they will knock some sense into our temperatures. Even then, still on the warm side for this time of year. Also some high cloudiness for possible sunrise and sunset enhancement. That is always nice. Then a series of stronger and colder storms will bring a chance for rain and mountain snow starting Christmas night and continuing through next week. Stay tuned!

Sunny and warm today with a high near 76ish. Mostly clear tonight low 40s. Mostly sunny tomorrow with a high in the upper 70s (the record is 80. Let’s not and say we did). Sunny Saturday mid 70s. Sunny Sunday low 70s. Near 70ish Monday. Mostly sunny upper 60s Christmas Day. 20% chance for showers Christmas night mid 30s. 20% Wednesday upper 50s. Enjoy!

Still on track for a quick warm up through the end of the week. The 70s return today! Que up Ambrosia, “And I keep ho o o o o o ld iiing o o o n to yesterday…” A few high clouds start to increase by Friday as our next couple of weak storms approacheth. No rain or mountain snow expected but these weak systems will slam on the brakes to our sudden warming trend. A couple of stronger storms set to change the weather pattern just in time for Christmas. Valley rain and mountain snow are looking like a decent bet next week. Place your orders and stay tuned!

Sunny today with a high near 70ish. Clear skies tonight with a low near 40ish. Sunny mid 70s tomorrow. Upper 70s Friday. Mostly sunny mid 70s Saturday. Sunny 70 Sunday (say that 5 times fast) (“that 5 times fast”) (smart alec). Sunny 70 Monday. 10% chance for showers Christmas Day mid 60s.

Our exiting storm system is exiting to the east leaving us with mostly clear skies in it’s wake. A bit of coolness in the air as well with lows tomorrow morning back in the 30s! Then high pressure building back in and we will warm up rather quickly, especially Thursday, with highs in the upper 70s by the end of the week. Everyone into the pool! (Wait. Not everyone is a member of the Polar Bear Club) Record highs for Thursday and Friday are both 80. We’ll be getting close if the forecast comes exactly true (hey, it could happen). Then it’s a series of systems that will cool us off just in time for Christmas. It should stay dry, but it looks like one around Friday. Another late Saturday into Sunday. Then another Monday. Perhaps (possibly. it’s a long ways out still) a stronger storm with rain and mountain snow late Christmas into Thursday of next week. Stay tuned!

Sunny today and cooler with a high in the mid 60s. Chilly tonight (mmm chili) with a low in the upper 30s. Sunny tomorrow upper 60s. Upper 70s Thursday. Mostly sunny Friday upper 70s. Mid 70s Saturday. Sunny low 70s Sunday. Upper 60s Monday.

Our first system that brought the clouds and a few sprinkles yesterday has moved on. Another system will be missing us to the NE today. So. We’ll get cooler before we get warmer. Mostly sunny today upper 60s. Partly cloudy tonight near 40ish. Sunny mid 60s tomorrow. Then our old pal high pressure moves in bringin’ the warmth. 70 Wednesday. Upper 70s Thursday and Friday. Low 70s Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy!

A couple of storms approacheth hopefully leading to sunrise and sunset enhancement. The first low currently in Baja California will move across northern Mexico and bring a slight chance for showers to our south and east, but the Metro staying High ‘n’ Dry. (congratulations to Def Leppard for making it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but I digress…) Our second system misses us to the north with shower chances well to our north and east. Then it’s clearing skies and warming temperatures the second half of next week into the weekend.

Partly sunny today with a high in the upper 60s. Mostly cloudy tonight mid 40s. Mostly sunny tomorrow upper 60s. Sunny Tuesday mid 60s. Upper 60s Wednesday. Mid 70s Thursday. Upper 70s Friday. Mid 70s Saturday. Enjoy!

Sure, a couple of systems will be cruising by, one to the south and one to the north, but no real chances of rain or mountain snow. Just keeping us from warming up too much. The second half of next week is a different story with high pressure building in and warming temperatures. Golfing weather on Christmas? or will a last minute storm save the day? or does golf shorts  and 5 irons on Christmas sound good to you? Stay tuned!

Mostly cloudy today with a high in the upper 60s. Mostly cloudy tonight low 40s. Partly sunny tomorrow low 70s. Mostly sunny Monday upper 60s. Mid 60s Tuesday. Upper 60s Wednesday. Mid 70s Thursday. Upper 70s Friday. Enjoy!

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

A couple three systems are headed our general direction. The first giving us increasing high clouds today as it approacheth for possible sunset enhancement. As that low misses us to the north another misses us to the south as it moves through northern Mexico. Slight chance for a shower mainly in the mountains Sunday and Sunday night but nothing to email (or text) home about. Another system moves through Monday into Tuesday but again more clouds and coolness than actual rain or mountain snow (although there will be a slight chance for mountain snow). After all that a ridge of high pressure builds in through the end of next week with a return of the 70s. Rock On!

Mostly sunny today with increasing high clouds and a high in the upper 60s. Mostly cloudy tonight low 40s. Mostly cloudy tomorrow near 70ish. Partly sunny (mostly cloudy with a bit more Sun?) Sunday near 70. Mostly sunny Monday upper 60s. Mid 60s Tuesday. Sunny upper 60s Wednesday. Low 70s Thursday. Enjoy!

Sunny and cool today after a chilly start (mmm chili) with a high just in the low 60s. Maybe a few high clouds in time for sunset enhancement this evening. Call it mostly clear tonight with more chilly! mid 30s. Mostly sunny tomorrow upper 60s. Mostly cloudy Saturday as an upper level low lurks to our south. One computer models says maybe a little rain. Another not so much. So. We’ll go mostly cloudy Saturday upper 60s. Mostly sunny Sunday and Monday upper 60s. 10% chance for showers Monday night and Tuesday with a high in the mid 60s. Sunny Wednesday near 68ish. Enjoy!

A lot of high clouds in our future. Hopefully not so thick as to put the Kibosh on sunrise and sunset enhancement. Keep your Pixel, iPhone, OnePlus, Samsung, Huawei, Razor, Sony, Canon, Nikon handy just in case! A lot of sunshine today and even a few areas of fog out there this morning. Some high cloudiness today too. Increasing high clouds tonight as Tuesday’s system approacheth. Kinda windy tomorrow with mostly cloudy skies. Slight chance for a few showers Tuesday night but it doesn’t look like a big deal at this point. The Sun returns Wednesday into next weekend with another system missing us to the NW on Thursday keeping us cool.

Sunny today with a high near 70ish. Increasing clouds tonight with a low in the low 40s. Mostly cloudy and “breezy” tomorrow with an ESE wind 15-25 mph gusting to near 35 and a high in the low 70s. Mostly cloudy Tuesday near 70. 10% chance for a shower Tuesday night. Mostly sunny Wednesday mid 60s. Sunny Thursday low 60s. Upper 60s Friday and Saturday. Enjoy!

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

Showers and even a few thunderstorms last night and overnight. Reminds of growing up in Oregon. No worries if rainy days and Fridays always get you down (well, rainy days anyways). The Sun returns tomorrow. A break in the rain this morning and some clearing for some has caused fog to form in some areas. So. In an abundance of caution the National Weather Service has issued a DENSE FOG ADVISORY until 9:00 this morning. Be advised. If there is fog it might be dense. Otherwise it’s rain chances increasing today as the storm still centered near San Diego marches through Arizona. Could be a thunderstorm thrown in as well. Rain should end sometime tonight and hey, maybe some fog by Saturday morning. Warming up a bit with sunshine this weekend into early next week. Then a system missing us to the north and east will cool us off mid to late week. Stay tuned!

80% chance of showers today and maybe a storm with a high near 62ish. 40% chance for showers tonight becoming partly cloudy with patchy fog possible after 2am and a low in the low 40s. Patchy fog possible to start the day tomorrow becoming mostly sunny upper 60s. Sunny Sunday upper 60s. Partly sunny Monday, and Tuesday upper 60s. Mostly sunny Wednesday mid 60s. Low 60s Thursday. Enjoy!
