Tucson, Ariz. – Morning light broke clear and warm across southern Arizona today, revealing another flawless desert sky and a crisp 55°F at sunrise. The quiet stretch continues for now — ideal for weekend road trips, outdoor festivals, or early holiday errands — but subtle changes are brewing as the week begins.
According to the National Weather Service in Tucson, steady high pressure will keep skies bright through Monday with highs soaring into the mid-80s. Winds will stay mostly calm, though some gusts may return Sunday afternoon, especially east of I-10. Low humidity and cool nighttime air mean conditions remain perfect for travelers and early Veterans Day events across Pima County.
Despite the warmth, late fall is inching closer. Northern Arizona already feels hints of the coming chill, and long-range models suggest a weak front could dip south by midweek. Tucson won’t see frost just yet, but morning lows near 54°F will feel noticeably cooler for early risers. The drier air could also spark elevated dust along rural roadways during late-day breezes.
Residents planning outdoor gatherings or pre-holiday yard work can count on bright skies and mild winds through Tuesday. After that, temperatures may ease slightly, signaling the start of southern Arizona’s gradual slide toward winter.
