Tucson, AZ – A calm, golden sunrise spreads across the desert this morning as temperatures start near 48°F under clear skies. The air feels cool and dry now, but by midday, Tucson climbs toward 81°F, marking one of the warmest December stretches so far this season.
The National Weather Service in Tucson reports that the region will remain sunny and tranquil through the weekend, with afternoon highs near 80°F and overnight lows around 47°F to 50°F. Light winds from the southeast will keep air quality clear, while desert mornings retain a slight chill before each day’s steady warm-up.
