Marine Weather and Tide Forecast for Tucson Estates, AZ

DISCUSSION
Well above normal high temperatures and dry conditions this week and into the weekend. Building high pressure aloft will be the driving force for our weather. The high pressure center will remain south of us but will still push temperatures to 10-15 degrees above normal. Some locales could see record high temperatures by the end of the work week. Winds will be fairly light and generally terrain driven throughout the week and skies will be mostly clear with occasional high clouds passing through.

Medium range models continue to hint at a pattern change near days 7-10 (December 23-25) showing a developing trough that pushes southward from the north Pacific. Of course that is to far out for any particulars at this time, or if it will result in sensible weather across southeast Arizona, but it appears changes may be coming.

FEW to SCT clouds AOA 20k ft AGL near KFHU and KDUG will clear out by 16/00Z becoming SKC across the area. SFC winds will be light and variable for the entire forecast period. Aviation discussion not updated for TAF amendments.
