Tucson is starting Monday under cloudy skies and lingering damp weather, with temperatures around 55 degrees before sunrise. Any remaining showers should taper off by about 9 a.m., clearing the way for a sunny afternoon and a high near 70. Winds will turn northwest Monday.

Showers Fade, But Flooding Remains A Concern

The rain may be ending in Tucson, but runoff from the weekend storm is still moving through area waterways. The National Weather Service in Tucson reported increased flow in some quicker-responding washes and said significant rises were possible in area rivers and creeks. Its November 1, 2026, Tucson-area forecast listed a Flood Watch for southeast Arizona through 5 a.m. Monday. Drivers should never attempt to cross flooded roads or go around barricades, even if the water appears shallow.

A Chilly Monday Night Leads To A Warmer Week

Monday night will be mostly clear, with temperatures dropping to about 47 degrees. Tuesday will rebound to a sunny 77 degrees, followed by highs near 78 Wednesday and 79 Thursday as dry air settles across Southern Arizona.

Sunny Skies Hold Through The Weekend

The dry pattern continues Friday through Sunday, with afternoon highs ranging from 76 to 79 degrees and overnight lows mostly between 50 and 52. Winds should stay light for most of the week, though southerly winds will become southwesterly and stronger. In short, Tucson gets a soggy morning, a crisp night and then several days of classic early-November sunshine.
