Arizona — A calm desert morning settles over southern Arizona as clear skies stretch above Tucson. The air feels cool now, but sunlight quickly changes the tone.
Temperatures climb rapidly today, jumping from the upper 40s into the upper 70s by afternoon. Sunshine dominates, and winds remain light, keeping travel smooth along I-10 and surface streets across the metro. Pavement stays dry, and no weather-related delays are expected.
Tonight remains mostly clear with lows dipping into the mid-40s. The cooler air arrives quickly after sunset, but freezing conditions stay out of reach for most neighborhoods. Wednesday follows the same warm pattern. Highs return to the upper 70s under steady sunshine, though east winds increase slightly during the afternoon.
By Thursday, clouds mix in at times, trimming highs back into the mid-70s. Conditions stay dry, but the breeze becomes more noticeable late in the day. Thursday night turns partly cloudy, holding temperatures near 50 degrees. Any rain chances remain slim for the Tucson basin.
Friday rebounds warmer again, with highs near 78 degrees and mostly sunny skies. The weekend of Feb 6–8 continues the mild trend, offering excellent conditions for outdoor events, hiking, and travel across Pima County. Nights remain cool, while afternoons feel more like late March than early February.
According to NOAA’s 6–10 day outlook, above-normal temperatures are favored across Arizona heading into mid-February. That supports an extended stretch of dry, warm days, with only low-end shower chances appearing late in the period.
For now, winter stays quiet in southern Arizona. Expect crisp mornings, fast warm-ups, and very dry air. Heading out early or planning time outdoors this week? Tell us how the February warmth feels in your part of Tucson.
