Arizona wakes to clear skies and a soft desert chill settling over Tucson.
Early temperatures sit in the upper 40s, cool enough for a jacket at sunrise. Calm air and clear skies allow the sun to take control quickly. By late morning, warmth spreads across the valley, pushing afternoon highs close to 79 degrees.
Roads remain dry along I-10, I-19, and surface streets this morning. Visibility stays excellent, and no travel disruptions are expected. Commuters notice the quick temperature swing as the sun climbs higher.
Tonight stays mild and quiet. Skies remain mostly clear, with lows near 48 degrees. The evening feels comfortable, though desert cooling returns after sunset.
Saturday introduces subtle changes. Clouds increase through the day, but warmth holds strong. Highs reach the upper 70s, and winds stay light. Outdoor plans remain in good shape, though skies look less crisp by afternoon.
Late Saturday night, moisture begins edging in from the west. A slight chance of showers or thunderstorms develops after midnight. Most locations remain dry, but clouds thicken toward dawn.
Sunday brings the highest impact period. A 30 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms develops late morning into the afternoon. Brief downpours and gusty winds are possible, though widespread rain is not expected. Drivers should watch for slick pavement during any heavier bursts.
By Monday, sunshine returns quickly. Highs rebound near 79 degrees, restoring the warm and dry pattern. Early next week continues mild, with above-normal temperatures holding into the midweek period.
