Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tucson AZ 331 AM MST Sun Dec 15 2019
SYNOPSIS. A weather system passing north of the area will bring a couple rain and snow showers to the White Mountains from this evening through early Monday morning. For the rest of southeastern Arizona, expect cooler and drier weather today. Much cooler conditions are expected for the first part of the upcoming week with cold morning low temperatures. Slightly warmer temperatures return Wednesday and Thursday with even warmer temperatures by Friday and Saturday.
DISCUSSION. A shortwave will swing through Arizona through Monday with the best energy staying well north of SE AZ. A few high elevation snow showers and valley rain showers will be possible later this evening and into early Monday morning across the White Mountains. Otherwise, dry across the remaining areas with slightly cooler condiitons and breezy winds east of Tucson.
As the system passes to the east, a much cooler airmass will settle into SE AZ. Tucson will struggle to get out of the 50s on Monday. Additionally, expect a chilly start each morning from Monday through Wednesday. Forecast guidance has been trending lower over the past several shifts and near freezing temperatures are likely across the Tucson Metro area Monday morning with even colder temperatures expected Tuesday morning. We will likely see areas of freezing temperatures across the Metro with KTUS flirting close to the freezing mark. Some of the coldest locations along washes and favored drainages could dip around the upper 20s to around 30 degrees. We will have to watch this, as an eventual Freeze Watch/Warning may be necessary. The temperature forecast will be a little tricky, since another southeasterly/easterly wind will set up Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Can't help but bring up that sneaky freeze the Metro saw back on October 31st. At least this time guidance certainly suggests freezing temperatures, thus the more confident messaging. Temperatures will remain cool most of the week with only a slow moderating trend. However by Friday, warming increases with temperatures well into the 60s Friday for the lower deserts and possibly 70s Saturday. For areas south and east of Tucson, expect upper 50s to lower 60s Friday and lower to middle 60s on Saturday.
We are sure quite a few people are interested in the longer range forecast for Christmas, so here is a quick little blurb. Longer range ensemble guidance is suggesting a storm system for the holiday time frame. At this time, it appears to be a closed low type storm system, which are always tricky to forecast as they meander around off the SoCal or Baja coastline. Nonetheless, its on the radar and we will be watching it closely for any potential impacts.
AVIATION. Valid through 16/12Z. FEW-SCT 10-15k ft and SCT-BKN AOA 20k ft MSL until 16/05z then becoming SKC. Surface winds SLY/SELY 4-10 kts becoming WLY/SWLY 10- 18 kts with higher gusts this afternoon, especially east of KTUS. Wind easing to W-SW 5-9 kts after 16/03Z. Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments.
FIRE WEATHER. A weather system moving across the Four Corners region will generate breezy winds today, especially east of Tucson. This system will also result in a slight chance of sprinkles or flurries in the White Mountains. Dry conditions area wide next week, but with cooler temperatures. Locally gusty east winds are expected Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
TWC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES. None.

Finally, tide and current data on this site is from 2007 and 2008 data bases, which may contain even older data. Changes in harbors due to building or dredging change tides and currents and for that reason many of the locations presented are no longer supported by newer data bases.

In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
