Tucson starts Friday, November 6, under partly cloudy skies and temperatures around 55 degrees, but the day should turn mostly sunny and warm near 73. The catch is a small window for showers or thunderstorms between 2 and 5 p.m., so afternoon plans may want a backup—especially east of town.
A Short Afternoon Storm Window
The National Weather Service puts the Tucson metro area's rain chance at 10% Friday afternoon, with isolated activity possible in town and better odds farther east. The most unsettled weather should favor Cochise County and parts of Graham and Greenlee counties.
Hoodline's Thursday forecast had a broader Friday shower chance, while the updated outlook now narrows the Tucson-area risk to a brief afternoon window and lowers the metro probability. After 5 p.m., skies trend mostly clear, with a low near 52 tonight.
Sunny Weekend Brings Stronger East Winds
Saturday should be sunny with east winds of 10 to 20 mph. Sunday stays sunny and reaches 75, with breezy east winds continuing through the day. No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Tucson area.
Warmer Desert Weather Returns Next Week
Monday through Thursday look mostly sunny, with highs climbing from 76 to 79 and overnight lows in the low 50s. Veterans Day on Wednesday, November 11, is forecast to be sunny near 78, bringing a return to warmer, steadier desert weather after Friday's brief wobble.
