It’s Friiidaaay!!!

Well that was fun. Top wind gust yesterday was 40 mph out of the southwest. Dusty/Hazy views of the mountains around sunset too. It looks like the worst is over wind-wise for the foreseeable future! Congratulations, you survived! I think we all deserve t-shirts or something. Breezy again today, but WNW winds only 10-20 mph and gusty. Cooler as our system exits the Four Corners stage east. Today’s high in the mid 70s.

Clear skies tonight with a low in the upper 40s.

Sunny tomorrow mid 80s. Near 90ish Sunday. Low 90s Monday. Mid 90s Tuesday. Low 90s Wednesday and Thursday. Enjoy!

In between systems today, so nice! Just a bit of a west breeze this afternoon, tons of Sun and warmer with a high near 85ish.

Mostly clear skies tonight with a low in the low 50s.

Then there’s tomorrow. Our next strong system will be moving through northern Arizona tomorrow and Friday. You know what’s coming. Not rain! A lot of wind. Areas of blowing dust. Sneezing and wheezing. General human despair basically. The struggle is real! SW winds 20-30 mph gusting to near 40 by afternoon. The National Weather Service has issued a FIRE WEATHER WATCH which is sure to be upgraded to a RED FLAG WARNING. Tomorrow’s high in the upper 80s.

Lingering wind on Friday and cooler with a high in the upper 70s. Sunny Saturday mid 80s. Near 90 Sunday. Low 90s Monday and Tuesday.

Another blustery day. Stop me if you’ve heard this one already… A storm missing us to the north will bring gusty winds this afternoon with areas of blowing dust and messed up hairdos. The National Weather Service has issued a RED FLAG WARNING from 10:00 this morning until 7:00 tonight for SW winds 20-30 mph gusting to 40. Not a great day for setting stuff on fire lest you burn the whole thing down. Increasing clouds too (sunset enhancement?) with a high near 90ish.

Breezes persisting tonight decreasing after midnight with a low in the mid 50s.

Sunny and breezy tomorrow with a high in the upper 70s. Warming up between systems Wednesday with a high in the mid 80s. Another windy day Thursday with a high in the mid 80s. Breezy Friday mid 70s. Sunny Saturday low 80s. Upper 80s Sunday. Hang in there!

I have to admit. Yesterday was a bit more breezy than I expected. With the kind of Spring we are having I should have known better. It was still a beautiful day though with a high of 78. We crank up the heat a bit today with sunshine and a high near 90.

Clear skies tonight with a low in the mid 50s.

Our Spring winds return tomorrow with yet another system missing us to the north. The National Weather Service has issued a RED FLAG WARNING for a high fire danger. Please be careful not to set stuff on fire. Areas of blowing dust possible too in the usual blowing dust prone areas. SW winds 15-25 mph gusting to 40 in the afternoon and a high near 90.

Breezy tomorrow night with mostly cloudy skies. Lingering breezes Tuesday with clearing skies. Cooler behind the exiting system with a high in the upper 70s.

Sunny Wednesday mid 80s. Breezy Thursday (what else is new?) mid 80s. Sunny Friday upper 70s. Low 80s Saturday.

Another blustery day yesterday and much cooler as advertised. The peak wind gust at the airport was 36 mph out of the NW and we topped out at 69 degrees. The system responsible for messing up our hair the last couple of days has moved east leaving just a light NNW breeze in it’s wake today. After a chilly start (mmm chili) this morning (43 was our low) we’ll rebound nicely, thank you very much, with a high in the upper 70s to perhaps 80.

Clear skies tonight with a low in the upper 40s.

Mostly sunny tomorrow with a high near 90ish!

Near 90 Monday as well, but another system well to our north will stir up some pollen and dust once again with SW breezes 10-20 mph gusting to 30.

Sunny and cooler Tuesday upper 70s. Mid 80s Wednesday. Upper 80s Thursday. Upper 70s and breezy Friday. Spring!

As you know, we tied the record high of 96 yesterday. Looks like a similar scenario today with the forecast high of 95 the same as the record high set in 1917 and hit again in 1988. Clear skies this morning with a few high clouds this afternoon and evening for possible sunset enhancement. A little bit breezy too as our next storm system approacheth. West winds 10-20 mph gusting to around 25. Be cool!

Get mentally prepared for tomorrow. It’s gonna be fun for all the wrong reasons. The Palo Verde’s are in bloom and with the wind we could see blowing and drifting yellow blooms. Also blowing dust, so there’s that. WIND ADVISORY and RED FLAG WARNING in effect for west winds 20-30 mph gusting to near 45. Brutal. If you smoke, please keep your butt in the car! Tomorrow’s high in the mid 80s.

A cold front blows through tomorrow night keeping us breezy overnight with WNW winds 20-30 mph decreasing after midnight and a low in the upper 40s.

MUCH cooler behind the front Friday with a high near 69ish. Low Saturday morning near 40. IF we dip into the 30s. it will be the first April low in the 30s since 2011!

Nice rebound Saturday afternoon with a high in the upper 70s. Upper 80s Sunday and Monday. Breezy Tuesday low 80s. Spring she is fickle, no?
