A cloudy, cool night across Southern Arizona, as a cold core low pushes through the Great Basin. Radar as of 6:15 pm shows mainly dry conditions over us, but off to the west is another round of rain & mountain snow heading in our direction.
My thinking is we’ll see this next batch of precip into [...]
Closing in on 8 PM in Tucson, and we’re still seeing a cold rain falling across the metro. Light to moderate rain is basically spread out over Eastern Pima County, ahead of a cold front that is now into Tucson’s west side. All activity continues a north-northeast trajectory and should clear Tucson & Southeast Pinal County by [...]
Well this escalated quickly…radar’s detecting rapidly developing showers/thunderstorms over Eastern Pima & Southeast Pinal Counties. All activity is pushing north-northeast around 30 mph, with the heaviest falling along Oracle Rd. in Oro Valley. I’ve also gotten reports of small hail around Oracle (thanks Mike!), which can’t be ruled out with any storm that forms.
The likelyhood [...]

Call it “The Big Change”. The cold front you see in Central California is the big weather player for Southern Arizona the next 48-72 hours. As this front tracks eastward, gusty southwest winds will develop Wednesday in Southern Arizona. Expect 20-30 mph winds in Tucson tomorrow, with stronger gusts east of the metropolitan area.
I’m also [...]

Rainfall totals tomorrow will range from 0.10″ [...]
Ready for some spring thunder? A developing low pressure center west of Baja California will move east the next 48 hours. Ahead of it, mid & high level clouds will be prevalent tomorrow. By Monday afternoon, we’ll see isolated showers and thunderstorms develop with the best chance near the International border. Look for this activity [...]
It’s going to be an early start to the day for lots of people Sunday, but all for a good cause! No weather problems for Race for the Cure, as you can tell from the Sunday dayplanner. You may want to bring a long-sleeved T for the early morning hours, as it may be a [...]
Around 3:40 PM Pacific Daylight Time Sunday, a magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck Baja California. The epicenter was located 55 miles southwest of Yuma, but shaking was felt as far east as Tucson. Damage from this quake was reported in California’s Imperial Valley and near Guadelupe Victoria, Baja California. Power outages reached all the way out to Yuma [...]
Happy Easter everyone…here’s a look at the next 7 days. It should be a warm, breezy Easter Sunday, with the Tucson metro seeing highs in the low to mid 80s. Easter egg hunts & barbeque-friendly weather for sure!
We’re going to hang onto those breezes through the early part of the week, as a cold front [...]
