Tucson is entering the longest consecutive streak of over-100-degree-days so far this decade.
7 Day Forecast Friday 108° / 80° Saturday 107° / 81° Sunday 107° / 82° Monday 107° / 83° Tuesday 108° / 83° Wednesday 110° / 83° Thursday 110° / 82° Charles Borla Tucsonans face a weekend of near-record highs and excessive heat warnings.It reached 110 degrees Thursday, topping the previous record for July 6, of 109 degrees in 2017, according to the National Weather Service in Tucson.
Sunday and Monday are each forecast to be 108 degrees, below record-highs of 110 degrees in 1979 and 109 degrees in 2021 for the two respective dates. While high temperature for July 12 is expected to be 111 degrees, the chance of rain is expected to creep up. Moisture-driven winds that come from the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf of California are being cut off, mainly due to the upper high being more southern than meteorologists would like it to be to trigger rain here. Ideally this would be situated over the Four Corners area. With the upper-level highs being situated in the south and a lack of moisture over northern Mexico, high-and-dry winds are the only thing Tucson has encountered so far in this year's monsoon season, the Weather Service says.
