If you were hoping for a big monsoon reset, KGUN 9 says today looks pretty quiet on that front. The station’s forecast calls for partly cloudy to mostly sunny skies and a less active monsoon pattern, with any storms most likely to pop over the higher elevations east of Tucson and have a hard time reaching the valleys.
That matters because the weather pattern is shifting the other way fast. KGUN 9 says hot conditions return late this weekend, and an Extreme Heat Watch is in effect for portions of Southeast Arizona Monday through Wednesday of next week. After that, the forecast points to a more active thunderstorm pattern returning in the second half of next week.
So for Valley readers, this is the kind of stretch where you may get a brief break from storm chances before the heat really takes over again. It’s a good reminder to keep an eye on the forecast, especially if you’ll be out in the afternoon.
