Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tucson AZ 335 AM MST Sat Feb 8 2025
SYNOPSIS
Unseasonably warm temperatures through this weekend will gradually cool next week as a series of weather systems push across the area. Not expecting much precipitation with any of next weeks systems.
DISCUSSION
Over the next seven days a series of weather systems will move across the Desert Southwest resulting in daily changes in sensible weather impacts each day across southeast Arizona.
Today & Sunday: Warm with gradually increasing high clouds.
Temperatures will remain well above normal topping out in the upper 70s to low 80s. Would not be surprised if a few locales end up breaking or tying daily high temperature records again as this streak of above normal temperatures comes to a close this weekend.
Monday: A mostly dry trof will move across the area. Sensible weather changes will include cooler high temperatures by a few degrees, increasing cloudcover, and the possibility for some virga or a few sprinkles (10-15%) mainly across elevated terrain. To the south and east of Tucson, breezy conditions are expected with sustained winds of 15-20 mph and gusts to around 30 mph.
Tuesday: Temperatures will be noticeably cooler (mid 60s to near 70 degrees) areawide compared to Monday. High temperatures will drop to near normal for most locations and even slightly below normal in a few spots. Breezy to windy conditions are expected, especially to the south and east of Tucson. Winds will be sustained at 15-25 mph with gusts to 30-40 mph. The combination of dry and windy conditions will increase fire weather concerns during this timeframe. Refer to the fire weather section below for more details.
Wednesday: A second trof with a bit more mid-level moisture will make its way across the area. Temperatures will drop below normal areawide with highs only topping out in the upper 50s to low 60s.
Chances for precipitation will be slightly higher (10-30%) compared to the Monday system (10-15%). Overall, a bit less breezy conditions expected areawide, but there is still potential to see gusts around 30 mph to the east of Tucson.
Thursday & Friday: A third weather system may bring additional moisture to the area with increasing chances for precipitation areawide beginning Thursday afternoon. However, confidence remains low at this time in just how much moisture will be available. Breezy to windy conditions expected during this timeframe with sustained winds of 15-20 mph and gusts to around 30 mph areawide.
AVIATION
Valid through 09/12Z.
FEW-SCT Cirrus clouds AOA 20 kft AGL thru much of the valid pd. SFC winds terrain driven less than 8 kts thru 08/18Z becoming WLY/NWLY at 7-13 kts with localized gusts to 20 kts thru 09/03Z. SFC winds become light and terrain driven thereafter. Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments.
FIRE WEATHER
Temperatures will remain well above normal for early February through this weekend with minimum relative humidity values of 8 to 14 percent. A more active weather pattern next week with weather systems moving through the area on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The Monday system will be mostly dry but will bring gusty winds to the area both Monday and Tuesday. There is the potential for near critical fire weather conditions east and southeast of Tucson both days. The systems on Wednesday and Friday will bring better chance of precipitation to the area although there is uncertainty on how much moisture will be associated with these two systems.
TWC WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
None.
