National Weather Service Tucson AZ
134 PM MST Sun May 26 2024

.SYNOPSIS...High temperatures rebound today and will run above
normal to close out May. Tucson will have another chance to hit
its first 100 of the year starting tomorrow.

&&

.DISCUSSION...Temperatures are a few degrees warmer than this time
yesterday thanks to increasing heights as a ridge begins to set
up over the Southwest for the first half of the week. Because of
this temperatures warm to above normal for the entire work week.
Tucson could see its first 100 of the year, but still uncertainty
on exactly which day. The NBM gives a 13% chance Monday, 39%
Tuesday, and 45% chance Wednesday. Thursday and Friday
probabilities drop a little as the ridge moves off to the east
but still sit at 18% and 19% respectively.

&&

.AVIATION...Valid through 28/00Z.
SKC for the entire period. WLY SFC winds generally less than 12 kts
with light and variable overnight. Occasional afternoon wind gust up
to 20 kts. Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments

next week. Expect diurnal trends to continue with occasional
afternoon wind gusts, generally less than 25 kts. Min RH`s in the
single digits across the valleys and some of the mountaintops.
