Arizona sunshine is already pouring over the Catalina Foothills, and the early chill is fading fast across Tucson. Temperatures started near 50 degrees around sunrise, but the desert warmup is moving quickly.
According to the National Weather Service in Tucson, highs reach 84 degrees this afternoon under clear skies. Northwest winds increase to 5 to 10 mph later today, keeping the air moving but not disruptive. Humidity sits near 40 percent, maintaining dry and comfortable conditions across Pima County.
Tonight, skies remain mostly clear with lows dipping to around 52 degrees. That 30-degree swing sets up another rapid climb Wednesday. Highs push to 85 degrees with sunshine dominating. Winds may gust near 21 mph at times, especially during the afternoon.
Thursday continues the warming trend with highs near 88 degrees. By Friday, Tucson hits 90 degrees under full sun. Saturday peaks around 92 degrees, well above seasonal averages and signaling strong spring warmth across southern Arizona. Sunday remains hot near 92 before slightly easing early next week.
Drivers along I-10 and Speedway Boulevard will see no weather-related travel impacts, but early morning commuters should stay alert for isolated slick patches in shaded areas where irrigation water can refreeze before temperatures rebound. Flash freezing can occur this time of year despite dry weather patterns.
The broader 6–10 day outlook favors above-normal temperatures across Arizona into early next week, reinforcing early spring vibes as February wraps up.
