Arizona – A soft breeze moves through palm fronds as Tucson starts the day under clear skies. The air feels mild early, already hinting that winter’s grip is loosening fast across southern Arizona.
Morning temperatures sit in the low-to-mid 50s, with clouds fading quickly after sunrise. Roads remain dry, and visibility stays excellent for commuters. By late morning, sunshine dominates, allowing temperatures to rise steadily.
According to the National Weather Service, highs reach the low 70s today, with light winds becoming variable through the afternoon. Tonight cools off but remains comfortable, dipping into the low 40s under partly cloudy skies.
Thursday keeps the pattern intact. Afternoon highs return to the low 70s, while overnight lows fall into the upper 30s. Early-morning chill may be noticeable in shaded areas, but no freeze concerns are expected in the metro.
By Friday, warmer air settles in more firmly. Highs push into the low-to-mid 70s, and skies stay clear. Outdoor plans remain uninterrupted, and travel along I-10 and surface streets stays smooth with dry pavement.
Saturday and Sunday feel more like early spring than late January. Highs climb into the mid-to-upper 70s, with clear skies and light winds. Evenings cool quickly after sunset, so layers still help after dark.
Drivers should remain alert during early mornings, when cooler air settles in low spots. While no precipitation is expected, temperature swings between night and day remain sharp.
Looking ahead to early February, longer-range outlooks suggest continued warmth across the Southwest, with below-normal precipitation chances holding steady. Tucson’s dry streak shows no immediate signs of breaking.
