Best chances for thunderstorms (to end Tucson's dry streak since May 19) are Monday, July 10, and Tuesday, July 11, before chances diminish, the weather service says.
Arizona Daily Star Circle this date on your calendar if you like local weather stats: July 25. That was the latest *actual start to the annual monsoon rains on record in Tucson, and it happened in 1987.
This season, unless it rains today or tomorrow in Tucson to end a dry streak going back to May 19, it looks like we're in for more waiting. By Friday, July 14, if not sooner, we're expected to head into drier conditions that will last through at least the first half of next week, the National Weather Service says. The Climate Prediction Center says hazardous heat could last at least through July 20 for the region.
The best chances for thunderstorms in Tucson are Monday, July 10, with a 20% chance, and Tuesday, July 11, with a 40% chance, before chances diminish again and moisture is driven to the west of us, said Lance Tripoli, a meteorologist with the weather service here.
