Many thanks to a user for reporting an error on one of the Edit pages. The switch to PHP 7.2 caused many pages that previously worked to quit working. I fixed many but I still depend on users to report ones I missed. Please report errors HERE or send an email to me at L-36.com. Allen |

(on/off) Help NOTE: mouseover dotted underlined text for definition| Fxus65 ktwc 222152 afdtwc area forecast discussion national weather service tucson az 252 pm mst Tue oct 22 2019 Synopsis Dry conditions into early next week. Expect above average high temperatures through Thursday, then cooler temperatures Friday, especially east of tucson. Warmer temperatures will return this weekend. Our first widespread freezing temperatures may occur in colder eastern valleys Friday night into Saturday morning. Discussion The position of a strong and high amplitude eastern pacific ridge will dominate our weather the rest of the month. With it's proximity to the coast, we are currently on the eastern flank of the ridge with heights and thicknesses supporting afternoon highs several degrees above average through Thursday. Add in a strong bermuda high, and you have a lot of room for broad and deep troughiness over much of the rest of the country. A strong system digging into new mexico Thursday and Thursday night will bring good cold air advection from british columbia southward into especially eastern portions of the state Friday and Friday night. Gusty winds should keep temperatures up Thursday night into Friday morning, with strong easterly winds Friday. The gradient will relax quite a bit Friday night into Saturday, with a strong chance of normal diurnal trends by sunrise Saturday morning. Combined with clear skies and low dew points, we should have some locations in cochise county drop to near or a little below freezing. The ridge will retreat a little further off coast over the weekend with a broad trough over the region, but the key will be how far. Gefs and ECMWF deterministics disagree on the progression of the pattern early next week with a slower and deeper ecmwf. Ensemble means of each help a little with the operational GFS near the warm |
end of the runs. The current nbm blend looks fine as it comes in between these resolutions, however we might end up needing a touch more depth offered by the ECMWF ensemble mean judging by the persistent depth of weekly height anomalies the first half of next week. The bottom line is limited moister this far south, but another round of gusty winds and cooler air to start the new work week. As the new mean trough position slowly shifts eastward, we'll pick up the front foot of the ridge again the second half of next week. Aviation Valid through 24 00z. Clear skies and surface wind variable in direction mainly under 12 kts into Wednesday afternoon. Aviation discussion not updated for taf amendments. Fire weather Dry conditions into early next week. Afternoon minimum relative humidity in valley locations generally 8-15 percent through Thursday, then mainly in the teens to lower 20 percent range Friday into next Tuesday. Expect gusty east winds developing as early as Thursday evening, but more likely early Friday morning into Saturday morning. 20-foot winds will be terrain driven and mainly less than 15 mph at other times. Climate There are early indications that a few locations across cochise county may approach record lows Saturday morning, october 26. Below is a select location listing of the daily record lows for october 26th.

Almost all of these also make simplifying assumptions so they are not totally accurate even if there are no errors.

It is not checked for accuracy either by anyone at L-36.com or by the source which is typically the US Government. See the NOAA web site for their disclaimer. 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. |
