(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus65 ktwc 212155 afdtwc area forecast discussion national weather service tucson az 255 pm mst Wed aug 21 2019 Synopsis Today is the last day of record highs with the area now transitioning into a more active thunderstorm pattern that is typical for late august. This active pattern will last into the weekend before turning off early next week as high pressure aloft builds over the area. After temperatures cool to near or slightly below normal this weekend, hot near record high temperatures return by next Tuesday. Discussion Last day of record heat this week with the hottest temperatures across pinal and pima counties in the 110 to 114 range. Tucson set daily record high of 109 degrees at 2:35 pm with time to still reach 110. Excessive heat warning remains in effect for the lower elevations of pima, pinal and graham counties until 8 pm this evening. Surface dewpoints have mixed out into the upper 40s and lower 50s this afternoon but they are up 10 to 15 degrees across cochise and santa cruz counties versus 24 hours ago. And we have seen the resultant increase in thunderstorm activity this afternoon versus the past week. These thunderstorms south and east of tucson mostly over the higher terrain with main threat being very strong gusty winds, some severe levels, and very brief heavy rain where pwat values are in the 1" to 1.2" range. Have already seen some gauges record over 1" in less than one hour. A few of these will be able to move out into the valleys into this evening. A gulf surge of moisture is currently moving up the gulf of ca. This increase moisture will move into the desert later tonight into Thursday with pwat values west of tucson increasing dramatically from around 0.80" today to up to 1.5" tomorrow. Focus of storms tomorrow will be west and south of tucson with strong gusty winds and very localized heavy rainers. Strong thunderstorm outflows west of tucson will produce areas of blowing dust, which has been added to the forecast in the afternoon forecast package. This welcomed return to an active monsoon pattern continues Friday into the weekend before turning off again early next week as the area heats up once again with record highs possible again next Tuesday. Then there is new christened tropical storm ivo, located around 490 miles south of the southern tip of baja california, per latest advisory, that could be a added moisture player heading into the weekend. |

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. For example, there is very little tidal current data in newer data bases so current data is likely wrong to some extent. This data is NOT FOR NAVIGATION. See the XTide disclaimer for details. In addition, tide and current are influenced by storms, river flow, and other factors beyond the ability of any predictive program. |
