Tucson, Arizona – Arizona residents are heading into a sizzling spring weekend as Tucson climbs to a high near 93°F today, with temperatures expected to crack 100°F by Wednesday. With clear skies dominating the region and only light afternoon winds, drivers and outdoor workers should prepare for prolonged sun exposure and hot pavement, especially on major routes like I-10.
According to the National Weather Service in Tucson, Friday’s weather will remain sunny with west winds shifting to 5–9 mph in the afternoon.
