TUCSON, Ariz. – The desert wakes quietly beneath a canvas of fading stars and pale orange light. The air is cool and still, but by midday, the warmth will surge again — a reminder that southern Arizona’s November can still feel like midsummer.
According to the National Weather Service in Tucson, the city will stay under a broad ridge of high pressure through midweek, keeping skies clear and temperatures well above seasonal norms. Highs reach around 90°F today and Tuesday, with plenty of sunshine and dry air dominating the region. Those planning to travel along I-10 or work outdoors should prepare for unseasonably warm afternoons and mild evenings, ideal for errands or evening walks once the sun dips low.
Winds remain light and variable through Wednesday, with highs near 88°F and nighttime lows in the mid-50s. The region’s pattern stays calm — no rain, no significant wind — but the dry air will continue to sap moisture from soil and plants, so watering schedules may need attention for those tending fall gardens.
A slight cooldown arrives late in the week, nudging highs into the mid-80s by Friday and Saturday, though sunshine remains uninterrupted. By Sunday, the long-range pattern hints at minor changes as upper-level flow weakens, possibly allowing a weak trough to brush northern Arizona early next week.
For now, Tucson stays locked in its bright, dry November rhythm — perfect for early holiday travel, late-season hikes, or outdoor Veterans Day events later this weekend.
