July 17, 2025 - Increased chance for rain this weekend

-

Yesterday we had clear skies in the morning, but it got progressively more cloudy in the afternoon. This brought a little relief temperature-wise to our hot and dry summer.

Humid air is being pushed northward from the SW monsoon into our area. This is what is bringing the cloudier weather and increased chances for precipitation. We have had an increase in chances for precipitation, but nothing more than a sprinkle has happened. However, that should change today and tomorrow as the chances for precipitation increase into the weekend.

Day Low (*F) High (*F) Precipitation
Yesterday 58.1 93.1 0.00”
Today 55.2 93 20%
Tomorrow 54 89 60%

Tue, July 22, 2025 - Extended Dry Spell

-
Yesterday, we had trace amounts of rain in various areas around the valley, but nothing substantial. In the meantime, we have a pocket of dry air forming over the Great Basin. This is usually the time of year that we start getting more rain from the Southwest monsoon. This year, however, it looks like we have an extended dry spell and will have to wait a couple more weeks before our rainy season.

May 6, 2025 - Lots of rain overnight - Continuing clouds, not as much rain coming

-
Discussion We are still in the heart of the low pressure system, and we have felt it. Between last night and this morning, we have had 0.46” of rain! Skies are beginning to clear, but we will continue to have some heavy clouds and off-and-on showers today and tomorrow until they clear completely by Thursday. As the skies clear, a high pressure ridge will start to form. By Thursday, we should be feeling its effects with much warmer temperatures and clear skies. Temperatures will reach into the 70’s by Thursday and possibly as high as 80*F over the weekend. We are looking at another cold front sometime in the middle of next week.
