Tucson gets one more sunny, summer-like afternoon Thursday before rain chances finally interrupt the warm stretch. Temperatures should climb from the mid-50s early to around 82 degrees, with light southeast winds and clear skies giving outdoor plans an easy green light.
Friday Brings The First Shower Chance
The forecast turns more interesting Friday, with Tucson reaching about 78 degrees and showers possible in the afternoon. The National Weather Service says moisture will increase across southeast Arizona, with isolated thunderstorms possible Friday afternoon, especially east of Tucson.
Friday night could bring a few additional showers before skies turn partly cloudy, with temperatures dropping to around 53 degrees. Saturday will be cooler and mostly sunny, topping out near 72, although a slight shower chance returns after 5 p.m.
Sunday Turns Mostly Sunny Before A Wetter Tuesday
Sunday looks like the weekend recovery day, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 73 degrees. Monday should be sunny and warmer at about 77, keeping the desert comfortable before the next weather system moves in.
Rain showers become likely Tuesday, with a 60% chance and a high near 71 degrees. Tuesday night could stay wet and cloudy as temperatures fall to around 48, followed by a cooler Wednesday near 64 with another slight shower chance.
No Watches Or Warnings In The Current Forecast
No watches, warnings or advisories are posted for the Tucson area. The outlook is a meaningful update from the earlier Hoodline forecast, which outlined Friday and Saturday shower chances but did not yet show Tuesday's stronger rain signal.
