Tucson is waking to clear skies Tuesday, with sunshine pushing temperatures from the upper 50s toward an afternoon high near 80. The warm, dry pattern holds through the middle of the week before a late-week storm chance finally gives the forecast something to talk about.
Sunny Stretch Peaks On Veterans Day
Tuesday night will stay clear with a low near 53, followed by sunny skies and a high near 82 on Veterans Day. Thursday looks just as warm, with another high near 82 and southeasterly winds, according to the National Weather Service.
Friday Finally Adds A Few Clouds
The first meaningful change arrives Friday, when a chance of showers begins in the afternoon. Tucson is expected to reach about 78 degrees, with afternoon rain chances and a mostly cloudy Friday night dropping to around 54.
Saturday Turns Cooler
Saturday brings mostly sunny skies but a cooler high near 72, plus a slight chance of rain showers after 5 p.m. Another small shower chance continues into Saturday night before Sunday returns to mostly sunny skies and a high near 73.
Updated Forecast Shifts The Weekend Timing
The latest outlook is a notable tweak from Hoodline's Monday forecast, which also flagged late-week showers but kept Saturday warmer and placed the larger rain chance on Saturday. This update starts rain chances Friday, with storm chances mainly Saturday, especially from Tucson north and east, as cooler air arrives Saturday; the earlier forecast is available here.
No Watches Or Warnings For Tucson
The Tucson forecast carries no watches, warnings or advisories. Outdoor plans look easy through Thursday, while Friday afternoon and Saturday evening are the periods worth checking again before heading out.
