Tucson, AZ – A soft, rose-colored sunrise glows across the Catalina Mountains this Sunday morning, the kind that promises another bright, dry desert day. Temperatures hover near 58°F before climbing quickly under clear skies. The National Weather Service says Tucson is in for a warm stretch through midweek, with highs near or above 90°F expected through Tuesday.
Sunday marks the start of a three-day warm-up powered by calm air and strong sunshine. High pressure over the Southwest keeps the skies cloud-free and the air bone-dry. Southeast winds around 8 mph will make the warmth feel steady but comfortable. Monday follows closely, with highs around 89°F and light winds from the northwest.
Tuesday could be the week’s warmest day, peaking near 93°F before a subtle shift in pattern begins. Models show a slight dip in temperatures by Thursday as dry air thins and a weak trough edges toward Arizona. No rain is expected through at least Friday, and visibility stays excellent — perfect for travel, outdoor work, or late-evening plans.
By next weekend, Tucson may feel its first modest cooldown of late October, though warmth remains dominant. It’s classic desert autumn — blazing days, cool evenings, and not a hint of frost yet — ideal for outdoor events and early holiday prep before November’s first real chill arrives.
