Here comes our Sergio surge! Moisture from tropical system Sergio along with a pacific low to our west will combine to give us a decent shot at showers and thunderstorms starting tonight and lasting into early next week! Highs remaining below average and lows fairly low for this time of year. Enjoy!

Increasing clouds today becoming partly sunny with a slight chance for a shower or storm and a high near 80. Scattered showers tonight (40%) low 60s.

Showers likely tomorrow (60%) with cloudy skies low 70s. 40% Saturday mid 70s. 30% Sunday mid 70s. 20% Monday upper 70s. 20% Tuesday mid 70s. Mostly sunny Wednesday upper 70s.

So far this October, we get to be the cool kids. Our coolness will get even cooler as we head through the weekend. Or maybe we’ll just be all wet. 😎

Sunny and warmer today with a high in the low 80s, but still below our average high of 87 for this date. (cool AND below average. it happens) Mostly clear tonight upper 50s.

Our Sergio surge begins tomorrow with his main track remaining to our south and east. However. A storm approacheth from the west which will interact with Sergio’s remnants and increase our chance for showers and storms. Slight chance tomorrow with a high near 80. 40% chance tomorrow night low 60s. Showers likely Friday low 70s. 50% Saturday upper 70s. 30% Sunday upper 70s. Stay tuned!

It’s chilly out there this morning! (mmm chili) Our cool fall weather continues with temperatures more like mid November than early October. Only 72 yesterday. We rebound a bit to the mid 70s this afternoon and low 80s Wednesday into Thursday. Increasing clouds Thursday as the moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Sergio approacheth. Rain chances jump to 40% Thursday night and 60% Friday with Friday topping out at just 70. Lingering showers and storm chances at 30% Friday night and Saturday. A low from the west takes Sergio’s tropical moisture, assimilates it (resistance is futile), and showers it on the land. Saturday’s high in the mid 70s. A 10% chance Sunday upper 70s. Sunny Monday upper 70s. Stay tuned!

Happy Columbus Day and Happy Thanksgiving for our Canadian friends! I always have a nice Italian meal to celebrate Columbus Day and for Canadian Thanksgiving? Maybe a stuffed goose! The weather sure is feeling Fall’s chill. It’s in the mid 50s on the deck this morning (mmm chili) and the coolness will stay with us for much of the day. Our low is spinning in northern Arizona making its way slowly to the east. Close enough for a chance at a few showers today and a high only near 72. The chance for showers all but fades tonight with a low in the low 50s!

Sunny tomorrow and gorgeous with a high in the mid 70s. Near 80 Wednesday.

Looks like we’ll be getting in on some of the moisture from the remnants of Hurricane Sergio by Thursday. Chance of storms 20% Thursday with a high near 80. 50% Thursday night low 60s. 50% Friday mid 70s. A storm approacheth from California just in time for the weekend may wrap up some of Sergio’s moisture and give us a chance of storms through Sunday. 20% Saturday upper 70s. 10% Sunday upper 70s. Stay tuned!

Sometimes it’s good to be below average! (don’t ask me how I know that) Yesterday’s high of 84 was 4 degrees below yesterday’s average high for this time of year and the low of 59 was 2 degrees below yesterday’s seasonal average (and amazing for coffee on the deck/patio/roof). The “cool” weather continues with another day topping out at 84 before a storm starts to move in. More clouds and a slight chance of storms this evening with a low in the low 60s. Scattered storms possible tomorrow with storms likely tomorrow night! 30% tomorrow with a high in the mid 70s. 60% tomorrow night low 50s. 50% Columbus Day Monday with a high of just 70!

Skies clear and we warm up a bit Tuesday and Wednesday with highs near 75 and 80 respectively.

Then it’s moisture from Hurricane Sergio expected to move in enough to give us a chance for showers and storms Thursday and Friday. 40% Thursday with a high in the mid 70s. 20% Friday mid 70s. Stay tuned!

It’s Friiidaaay!!!

It’s much drier as evidenced by the temperature falling to 60 degrees so far for a low this morning. Refreshingly cool on the deck this morning! Almost chilly. (mmm chili) A storm missing us to the north today will keep our highs below average for this time of year topping out in the mid 80s today and tomorrow. Lows in the upper 50s to near 60. Awesomeness!

Here comes a storm for Sunday into Columbus Day. Gusty winds and a chance for showers and cool. Mountain showers for the higher elevations in the White Mountains and maybe a few flakes on Mt. Lemmon. Sunday’s high near 78 with a 50% chance for showers and storms. South winds 10-20 mph gusting to near 30. 50% Sunday night mid 50s. 40% Monday low 70s. 10% Monday night low 50s!

Sunny on Tuesday mid 70s. Near 80 Wednesday.

Then there’s Hurricane Sergio. Models still show him (and his moisture) moving towards Baja California next week and Arizona by Thursday ish. Right now we’ll go with a 20% chance for rain Thursday upper 70s. Stay tuned!

Happy Friday Eve! Makes the weekend seem closer. Also it’s October 4th, a.k.a. 10-4 good buddy and the weather is A-OK. 🙂 Refreshingly cool on the deck this morning in the upper 60s! Still some moisture hanging around today, but no rain expected. This afternoon’s high very close to the average of 89.

Starting the day tomorrow and Saturday in the upper 50s! Kinda chilly (mmm chili) with highs in the mid 80s. Winds picking up on Saturday as our next storm approacheth.

Scattered storms on Sunday with a 30% chance for rain and a high in the upper 70s. 30% chance Sunday night, and maybe some high elevation snow, with a low in the mid 50s. Slight chance for a lingering shower Columbus Day mid 70s.

Warming up some Tuesday upper 70s and more on Wednesday low 80s. Don’t look now, but Hurricane Sergio is lurking off the Mexican coast and may make a move toward Baja California by the end of next week. Lots of uncertainty about whether Sergio will affect our weather, but we’ll keep an eye on it (him). Stay tuned!

Rosa has left the scene, but not after dropping beneficial rains across the area! What a great way to start October. She has left some moisture behind, so maybe a a lingering shower this morning. Otherwise becoming mostly sunny skies. Today’s high in the upper 80s.

A couple of systems missing us to the west will dry us out and keep us on the “cool” side with temperatures close to “average” for early October. Upper 80s tomorrow and mid 80s Friday and Saturday with lows in the upper 50s to near 60!

A Fall storm heads our way late in the Columbus Day weekend bringing a chance for rain and mountain snow! 10% Saturday night low 60s. 30% Sunday mid 70s. 20% Sunday night mid 50s. 10% Monday low 70s. Sunny Tuesday mid 70s. Enjoy!

A couple of gusts of wind this morning! as Rosa is falling apart as she moves into SW AZ. The rain shield stayed to the west of Tucson overnight, but we have clouds and dewpoints in the mid 60s. Lots of moisture around. Some breaks in the clouds today and breezy with a few thunderstorms possible. 30% today with a high in the mid 80s. 40% this evening with a low in the mid 60s.

Lingering moisture tomorrow ahead of a trough from a storm that will miss us to the north Thursday. Slight chance for a storm or two tomorrow and Thursday with highs in the upper 80s.

Cooler behind our system Friday and Saturday with highs in the mid 80s and lows near 60!

But wait. There’s more! A Fall storm dropping in from the NW will bring a chance for showers and perhaps some mountain snow Sunday and Monday. 20% Sunday upper 70s. 40% Sunday night mid 50s. 30% Monday mid 70s. Stay tuned!

What a difference a hurricane makes! Tropical Storm Rosa is approaching the northern Baja California coast. Lots of moisture has been pushed into Arizona ahead of Rosa and we are breezy and cool with a few showers about this morning. We did add .01″ to our Monsoon 2018 totals yesterday! Any rain that falls this week will add to October totals, but Monsoon 2018 is done with a final total of 7.02″

OK, back to Rosa. Her expected track is pretty much on track from yesterday’s thinking. Moving between Yuma and Gila Bend late morning tomorrow as a tropical depression. That means another 36 hours or so of good rain chances with embedded thunderstorms, some with heavy rainfall possible. Highs in the mid 80s today and tomorrow. Breezy tomorrow too, especially in the mountains. Could see wind gusts to near 35 mph in the Metro.

Rosa moves out Tuesday night and a trough comes through the state Wednesday. Slight chance for storms as that happens with a high in the upper 80s.

Drier, cooler air moves in behind the trough. Highs in the upper 80s Thursday and Friday with lows in the low 60s! Mid 80s Saturday. 10% Saturday night and Sunday. Sunday’s high in the low 80s. Enjoy!!!
