midday Mon Mar 9th, 2026 Arizona weather update.

Good morning. Arizona. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you're feeling 62 degrees of pure early spring bliss. Clear skies. Light breeze. Gorgeous. But a cutoff low is sliding east from Baja California. And it's about to crash the party. Central Arizona starts sunny with a high near 81 degrees. Then around 5 P.M., thunderstorms fire up. You could see a tenth to a quarter inch of rain, gusty winds. And small hail. Those storms stick around through 5 A.M. Tuesday, so tonight drops to 56 degrees under mostly cloudy skies. Down in Southern Arizona, storms arrive earlier — around 2 P.M. — and they mean business. Tucson tops out at 79 degrees before showers and thunderstorms ramp up. By tonight, there's a 90 percent chance of storms, with rainfall totals between a quarter and half an inch. Strong southerly winds gust to 35 miles an hour, possibly higher along the border. Lows fall to 50 degrees. Northern Arizona stays quieter. Flagstaff reaches 61 degrees under sunny skies with breezy southwest winds gusting to 21 miles an hour. A slight chance of rain showers develops late tonight — possibly mixing with snow above 7,000 feet — with lows dropping to 31 degrees. Tuesday stays unsettled with lingering showers, especially in the south. Then the pattern flips. Strong high pressure builds Wednesday. And temperatures skyrocket. By Thursday. Phoenix hits 92 degrees. Friday? 94 degrees. The weekend brings near-record heat — 95 degrees Saturday and Sunday. Some lower desert communities could touch 100 degrees by next week. Enjoy today's warmth while it lasts. See you this afternoon.

Good afternoon. Arizona. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside right now and you'll feel something we haven't had in a while — a genuinely warm morning. We're sitting at 74 degrees after bottoming out at 55 overnight. That's about 27 degrees warmer than normal for early March. And today's shaping up to be a stunner. Central Arizona hits 88 degrees under full sunshine. Light easterly winds around 5 miles an hour keep it comfortable. Tonight drops to 59 under partly cloudy skies. Down south, expect 84 degrees with plenty of sun. Southeast winds pick up to 10 miles an hour. Tonight cools to 50 as clouds start building from the west. Up in the high country, sunshine pushes you to 59 degrees. Easterly winds run 6 to 9 miles an hour with gusts to 27 miles an hour. Tonight's the cold spot statewide — dropping to 27 under mostly clear skies. But here's the twist. A low pressure system sitting off Baja California is about to flip the script. Monday brings increasing clouds and showers statewide. Central Arizona sees a 60 percent chance of rain starting around 11 A.M., with the heaviest activity Monday evening. Southern Arizona gets an 80 percent chance — rain begins late morning and continues through Monday night. Even northern Arizona sees a 40 percent chance of showers after 5 P.M. Monday. Rainfall totals look modest — a tenth to a quarter inch for most areas, with locally higher amounts under thunderstorms. The mountains could see a dusting of snow. Tuesday wraps up the wet weather as the system moves east. Then high pressure builds back in. Wednesday through Saturday? Dry and warming fast. Phoenix could challenge record highs by Friday — potentially hitting 94 degrees. Enjoy the sunshine today. The weather's about to get interesting. See you this evening.

Good morning. Arizona. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you'll feel something special. Sunshine and warmth are taking over. Phoenix climbs to 88 degrees — about 27 degrees above normal for early March. Tucson hits 84. Up in Flagstaff, you top out at 59 under clear blue skies. Tonight stays mild. Phoenix drops to 59. Tucson settles near 50. Flagstaff gets chilly at 27 degrees. But here's where things get interesting. A cut-off low pressure system is sitting off Baja California right now, moving east-northeast toward the border. That means moisture is heading our way. Monday brings a big change. Showers develop Monday morning across southern Arizona, spreading north through the day. By 5 P.M., thunderstorms are likely across central and eastern Arizona. Phoenix sees a 60 percent chance of showers and storms. Tucson jumps to 80 percent. Rainfall totals range from a tenth to a quarter inch in most spots. Higher terrain could see up to four-tenths of an inch. Mountain peaks above 8,000 feet might get a dusting to 2 inches of snow. Some thunderstorms could produce small hail Monday evening. Tuesday morning wraps up the wet weather. Showers taper off by late morning. Phoenix reaches 75 degrees. Flagstaff tops out at 56. Then the ridge rebuilds. Wednesday brings sunshine back statewide. Phoenix climbs to 83 degrees. By Thursday, you hit 92. Friday could challenge records at 94 degrees. Flagstaff warms into the upper 60s to low 70s through the week. Enjoy today's warmth, but keep the umbrella handy for Monday. See you this afternoon.

Good morning. Arizona. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you'll feel that crisp 54 degrees. Today's bringing a cool-down after the warmth we've been riding. Down in Tucson, you're topping out near 69 degrees under sunny skies. Breezy southwest winds keep things moving. Tonight drops to 38 degrees — perfect for leaving the windows cracked. Phoenix and the Valley? You hit 73 this afternoon. Light winds, nothing dramatic. Tonight settles around 48 degrees. Now head north to Flagstaff and the high country. And it's a completely different day. Rain showers roll in late morning, switching to snow by early afternoon. High near 44 degrees with north winds around 5 to 9 miles an hour. Less than half an inch of accumulation expected — just enough to dust the peaks. Tonight, those snow showers taper off. Low drops to 23 degrees with gusty north winds up to 20 miles an hour. For the weekend and beyond. Saturday brings sunshine statewide. Southern Arizona warms to 74 degrees. Phoenix climbs to 78. And Flagstaff rebounds to 48. Breezy northeast winds Saturday night, especially south of the Mogollon Rim — gusts up to 35 miles an hour possible. Sunday turns hot. Phoenix hits 87 degrees. Tucson reaches 83. Even Flagstaff warms to 60. Clear skies continue. Monday and Tuesday bring a shift. A weather system slides in from the west with scattered showers and thunderstorms — best chances Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning. Southern Arizona sees the highest rain chances at 60 percent. Northern Arizona stays mostly dry. Mid-week, high pressure returns. Temperatures soar back into the mid to upper 80s by Wednesday, with low 90s possible by Thursday. If you're liking these updates, a quick rating goes a long way. See you tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Arizona. I'm Aaron Jolly. That wind rattling your windows? It's real. Gusts are hitting 30 miles an hour across the lower deserts right now, with some spots in the higher terrain getting slammed at 40. A dry cold front just blew through, stirring things up. The good news? It all calms down by tonight. In the next 24 hours. Down in Phoenix and Tucson, you're cruising to 80 degrees this afternoon. That's textbook early March. But drive north to Flagstaff and you're in a different season — highs barely crack 52, with a slight chance of light rain and snow showers. The mountains above 7,000 feet might wake up to a dusting tomorrow. Tonight, the temperature drops hard. Phoenix falls to 48. Tucson dips to 39. Flagstaff? A crisp 19 degrees under mostly clear skies. Friday brings cooler air statewide. Phoenix tops out at 72 — about 19 degrees cooler than today. Tucson hits 70. Flagstaff climbs to 44 with mostly sunny skies. Those northwest winds stick around Friday afternoon, gusting to 25 miles an hour. Saturday warms things back up — Phoenix hits 79. Tucson 76. Sunday gets even warmer, with Phoenix climbing to 87, though moisture sneaks in late with a chance of showers. Monday brings the best rain chance, especially across eastern Arizona and the higher terrain. By Tuesday, we dry out as high pressure builds back in. Wednesday looks gorgeous — sunny skies with Phoenix near 85. If this helped you plan your week, a quick rating keeps us going. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Arizona. I'm Aaron Jolly. Arizona is doing its geography thing today. The deserts are about to kiss 80 degrees. The high country? Wind chills near 19 degrees. That's a 70-degree split across one state. In the next 24 hours. Right now we're sitting at 57 degrees in Phoenix. Here's the weird part — that was also our overnight low. The temperature never dropped. That's how mild this air mass is. Central Arizona climbs to 80 by mid-afternoon under sunny skies. Southwest winds kick up around 10 A.M., gusting to 25 miles an hour by 3 P.M. Tonight stays mild at 48 degrees. Down in Tucson, you also hit 80. But here's where things get serious. A Red Flag Warning runs from 1 P.M. To 8 P.M. For Cochise. Santa Cruz. And far southeastern Pima counties. Humidity crashes to 10 percent. Winds gust to 40 miles an hour. Any spark becomes a problem fast. Tonight drops to 39 under clearing skies. Now head north and it's a different planet. Northern Arizona tops out at 52 degrees with gusty west winds to 32 miles an hour. A Wind Advisory runs from 11 A.M. To 7 P.M. Above 5500 feet, a slight chance of snow showers after 11 A.M. Tonight, temperatures crash to 19. Wind chills will feel like 19 degrees by sunrise. Friday brings cooler air statewide — 73 in Phoenix, 70 in Tucson, just 45 in Flagstaff. The weekend rebounds nicely. By Sunday we could hit 85 in the deserts. Rain chances return Monday, then we dry out and warm up again midweek. One last thing — tonight's full moon rises at sunset. With clear skies statewide, it'll be stunning. Just Dress warmly in the high country. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.

Good evening. Arizona. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you'll feel seventy-three degrees under perfectly clear skies. That's the kind of morning that reminds you exactly why you live here. But enjoy the calm. Because tomorrow tells a different story. In the next 24 hours. Tonight stays mild across the desert. Central Arizona drops to 54 degrees. Southern Arizona cools to 48. But up north? Flagstaff sits at 30 degrees with a biting southwest wind making it feel closer to 22. Thursday brings the wind. A system diving down from the Pacific Northwest kicks up gusts across the state. Central Arizona hits 79 degrees with gusts to 30 miles an hour. Southern Arizona reaches 80, but gusts could hit 29 miles an hour. The mountains see west winds gusting to 35 miles an hour. That's prompted a Wind Advisory for northern Arizona from 11 A.M. To 7 P.M. and a Red Flag Warning for Cochise and Santa Cruz counties from 1 P.M. To 8 P.M. Fire danger will be elevated, so hold off on any outdoor burning. Friday cools things down. Central Arizona drops to 73 degrees. Southern Arizona falls to 70. Northern Arizona dips to 46 under mostly sunny skies. The weekend brings a rebound. Highs climb back into the upper 70s and low 80s by Sunday. A slow-moving system off Baja could bring rain chances Sunday into Monday. Nothing heavy, but something to watch. Tonight's full moon rises at sunset. With clear skies statewide, it will be a beauty. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. And the spring equinox sits just two weeks away. Grab that extra jacket for the morning if you're up north. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon. Arizona. I'm Aaron Jolly. Eighty-two degrees and not a cloud in sight. That's the scene right now across the desert. We're running about 20 degrees above normal for early March. And today shapes up as the warmest day of the week. So Central Arizona climbs to 84 degrees this afternoon under brilliant sunshine. Down in Southern Arizona. Tucson and surrounding areas hit 83. But head north to the high country and it's a different world — Flagstaff tops out at 60 degrees with gusts to 25 miles an hour this afternoon. In the next 24 hours. Tonight, that full moon will have plenty of company. Skies stay mostly clear statewide. Lows dip to 54 in the Valley, 48 down south. And a crisp 30 degrees up north. Early risers in Flagstaff tomorrow morning will feel wind chills around 22 degrees. Thursday brings our next weather maker. A system dropping down from the Pacific Northwest kicks up winds and knocks temperatures back. The Valley falls to 79 degrees. Southern Arizona sees gusts to 30 miles an hour. And that combination of wind and dry air triggers a Red Flag Warning from 1 to 8 P.M. For Cochise and Santa Cruz counties. Northern Arizona gets the brunt of the wind — gusts to 45 miles an hour east of Flagstaff, with a Wind Advisory in effect. Friday is our coolest day. Phoenix only reaches 73. Then we rebound into the 80s this weekend. But here's the twist. Sunday into Monday, a slow-moving low off Baja could bring our first real rain chances in weeks. Nothing heavy, but something to watch. In Sunrise at 6, 54, sunset at 6:28. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. Spring equinox sits just two weeks away. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. Arizona. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you might think you're still dreaming. It's sitting at 59 degrees under a thick gray blanket. Those clouds acted like a heavy quilt overnight, keeping temperatures remarkably steady. But don't get too comfortable. That blanket is about to rip right down the middle. In the next 24 hours. Today tells two completely different stories. Down in the Valley, summer is definitely teasing you. You'll climb to a toasty 84 degrees this afternoon. That's running a solid 20 degrees above normal for early March. Down south in Tucson, you're looking at 83. If you can sneak away for lunch, it's perfect hiking weather. But head up to Flagstaff? you're in a different world. Early risers are feeling wind chills near 20 degrees. You'll top out at just 60 degrees this afternoon. That's a massive 24-degree temperature gap between Phoenix and the high country. Tonight, the skies clear out completely. The Valley cools to 55. Tucson drops to 48. And Flagstaff gets a crisp 30 degrees. And here's the real treat. A full moon rises this evening. It should be spectacular against that dark backdrop. Thursday brings a reality check. A cold front sweeps through. Temperatures crash 20 degrees to 15 degrees. And the wind picks up significantly. We're talking gusts to 35 miles an hour in the high country. A Wind Advisory runs from 11 A.M. To 7 P.M. For areas near the Mogollon Rim and White Mountains. Looking ahead, the forecast turns into a roller coaster. Friday cools you down further. The weekend warms right back up. Then a cutoff low drifts in from Baja. That brings a slight chance of showers by Sunday and Monday. Nothing heavy, but something to watch. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight today. The spring equinox is just two weeks away. Winter is losing its grip. Even if the mountains aren't ready to admit it. Charge your phone before you head out tonight. You'll want a photo of that moon. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Take care That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good evening. Arizona. I'm Aaron Jolly. Arizona is basking under a ridge of high pressure tonight. And folks, it feels like a gift. Warm, quiet, not a cloud in sight. Enjoy it. Because Thursday has other plans. In the next 24 hours. Right now you're sitting at 76 degrees under crystal clear skies. Step outside and that full moon is going to light up the desert like a spotlight. Central Arizona hit 85 degrees today. Tucson wasn't far behind at 84. But drive north to Flagstaff and it's a completely different story. They started the morning at 27 degrees and only climbed to 62. That's a 23 degrees gap between the Valley and the high country. Tonight the Valley cools to around 57 degrees. Tucson dips to 49. Flagstaff drops right back to 27. Leave a window cracked if you're down south. Grab the extra blanket if you're up north. Now here's where it gets interesting. Thursday, a cold front barrels through with southwest winds gusting 20 to 30 miles an hour across the state. Northern Arizona could see gusts hitting 40 miles an hour. Temperatures drop 20 degrees to 20 degrees everywhere. No real rain though. Just wind reminding you March still has teeth. Friday calms down. Phoenix settles near 74 degrees. Tucson 71. Flagstaff a chilly 46. Then the weekend? Gorgeous. High pressure slides back in. Valley highs bounce into the low 80s Saturday, mid 80s Sunday. Perfect for a hike up Camelback or a round of golf. We're gaining about two minutes of daylight each day now, with sunset at 6:27 this evening. Early next week, a cut off low near Baja could sneak in slight rain chances Monday. Worth watching.

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. February is bowing out with a heat show that'll make you forget it's still winter. A massive high-pressure dome is parked right over the Southwest. and it's cranking temperatures 26 degrees to 26 degrees above where they should be for late February. In the next 24 hours. Down in Phoenix, you're hitting 92 degrees this afternoon. Tucson climbs to 90. Those aren't just warm numbers — they're threatening records that have stood since 1957. Head south toward Organ Pipe and you could touch 95 degrees, which would shatter a 69-year-old benchmark. Push north to Flagstaff and you're still running hot at 70 degrees. That's nearly 26 degrees above normal. This is May weather showing up two months early. Sunday cranks the heat even higher. Phoenix could reach 94 degrees. Tucson hits 91. Flagstaff stays at 68. If you're spending time outside this weekend, treat this like summer. Slather on sunscreen. Drink more water than you think you need.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Arizona Weather Podcast — it's Thursday, February 26th. Folks, February is having an identity crisis. Phoenix is about to kiss 89 degrees today. That's not a typo. We're talking temperatures you'd expect on Easter weekend, not late February. This is 31 degrees to 31 degrees warmer than normal.. And we're flirting with the record books. Down in the Valley, Phoenix wakes up at 59 degrees. By late afternoon, you're hitting 89 under wall-to-wall sunshine. Barely a whisper of wind. Tonight stays mild at 62 degrees — windows-open weather if you ask me. Head south to Tucson and you're starting at 53 degrees. You'll surge to 87 by 2 P.M. under those same clear skies. A light southwest breeze picks up later in the day. Overnight brings 56 degrees. Now push north to Flagstaff. You're at 37 degrees this morning, feeling like 32 with that northwest wind cutting through. But even the high country warms up today.. 68 degrees by mid-afternoon. Tonight drops back to 35 under mostly clear skies. One thing to know. The UV index peaks at 31 degrees today. That's high for late February. If you're out soaking in this preview of spring, slather on the sunscreen. Your skin won't forgive you otherwise. Here's your heads-up for the days ahead. High pressure keeps its grip through the weekend. Saturday could hit 94 in Phoenix. We're talking near-record territory.. Potentially all-time February highs. Early next week brings a pattern shift. Temperatures ease back slightly, winds pick up. And we'll watch for a slight chance of showers by Tuesday or Wednesday. Sunrise was at 7:01 A.M. Sunset comes at 6:23 P.M. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. Enjoy this warmth while it lasts. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Arizona Weather Podcast — it's Wednesday, February 25th. Sixty degrees at sunrise. Sixty degrees at midnight. The desert forgot how to cool down, folks. That's your first sign we're living inside a heat dome right now. Strong high pressure has Arizona running fifteen to twenty degrees hotter than normal for late February. We're knocking on the door of record books. Central Arizona wakes up to 57 degrees around 7 A.M. By 5 P.M., you're hitting 87. That's a thirty degree climb in ten hours. Winds stay gentle, shifting from south to west-southwest around 1 P.M. Tonight drops to 59 under clear skies. Tomorrow? Even warmer. Ninety degrees and full sun. Down in Tucson, you start at 52 around 7 A.M. and peak at 85 by 3 P.M. Winds shift from south to west around 11 A.M. Tonight falls to 54. Thursday climbs to 88. Now head north to Flagstaff. Thirty-seven degrees around 7 A.M., but that west wind makes it feel like 32. You'll want that jacket. Sunshine pushes you to 65 by 3 P.M. Gusty west winds could hit 20 miles an hour. Tonight drops to 38. This ridge isn't budging through the weekend. The deserts push into the low 90s Friday through Sunday. Tucson might crack its all-time February high. Early next week brings slightly cooler air, but nothing dramatic. No rain anywhere on the horizon. Spring equinox is still three weeks out. Arizona decided not to wait. If this heat wave is messing with your plans, drop us a rating. It helps more people find us. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Arizona Weather Podcast — it's Tuesday, February 24th. Step outside and you'll feel something strange for late February.. Warmth. Real warmth. We're waking up to 56 degrees under clear skies. And this is just the appetizer. Phoenix is about to light up. You hit 85 degrees by 5 P.M. Today — that's 27 degrees above normal. Tonight stays balmy at 58 degrees around midnight.. Then temperatures actually *climb* to 60 by sunrise. Yes, you read that right. Your thermometer runs backwards overnight. Tomorrow? Even hotter: 87 degrees under relentless sunshine. Tucson isn't far behind. You reach 83 degrees by 2 P.M. Today, with winds shifting from southeast to south-southwest around 11 A.M. Tomorrow brings 85 degrees. By Friday, we're flirting with 90 — something you haven't seen since last summer. There's a 50 percent chance we break February records this weekend. Now Flagstaff.. You're playing a different game entirely. You woke up to 27 degrees — feeling like 27 degrees with the wind — and barely climb to 63 degrees by 2 P.M. Today. Winds gust to 25 miles an hour, making it feel even cooler. Tonight drops to 33 degrees. While you warm to 67 tomorrow, it's nothing like the desert's heatwave. Classic Arizona: one state, two seasons. The ridge of high pressure parked over us isn't budging. Phoenix could hit 91 degrees Thursday, 93 Friday. Tucson? 90 degrees is on the table. Even Flagstaff warms to 71 by Friday — 27 degrees above normal. With the UV index hitting 6, slather on that sunscreen. The only relief? A slight cooldown early next week with a tiny chance of rain. Enjoy the heat while it lasts. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Arizona Weather Podcast — it's Monday, February 23rd. Arizona is about to crank the thermostat. We're waking up to 57 degrees and clear skies, but by Friday? Phoenix could hit 90. That's not a typo. We're talking about a full-blown heatwave in late February. Phoenix, you're starting at 85 today. Tomorrow? Same story. But Wednesday jumps to 87. And by Friday you're staring down 90 degrees — flirting with the all-time February record of 92. Overnight lows barely dip to 55, so sleeping with the windows open might actually work. Winds stay gentle, shifting northeast to east around 9 A.M. Tucson, you're riding the same wave. Today's 82 feels like a warm-up act. Wednesday climbs to 85. And Friday hits 89. But here's the kicker.. Midweek winds gust to 35 miles an hour. That's the kind of breeze that'll steal your hat and send it three blocks away. Lows stay in the 50s, so mornings stay comfortable. Flagstaff, you're the outlier, but even you're heating up. Starting at 23 degrees this morning, you'll climb to 58 by this afternoon. Tuesday and Wednesday bring winds gusting to 25 miles an hour — enough to rattle the pines. By Friday? 68 degrees. That's 20 degrees above normal for late February. Nights still dip to the 30s, so don't retire the jacket yet. The bigger picture? This heat builds every single day. No rain. No clouds. Just relentless sunshine and climbing temps. Phoenix and Tucson could both crack 90 by the weekend. And even Flagstaff feels more like spring than winter. One last thing.. We're gaining two extra minutes of daylight today. Sunrise at 7:05 A.M., sunset at 23 degrees:21 P.M. UV index hits high, so slather on that sunscreen. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly. And welcome to the Arizona Weather Podcast — it's Sunday, February 22nd. Arizona's doing that thing again where it can't decide what season it's. Step outside in Phoenix right now and you're at 51 degrees. Drive two hours north to Flagstaff? You're at 16. That's a 35-degree swing across one state. Welcome to Arizona, folks. Phoenix, those morning clouds vanish fast. By 4 P.M., you hit 82 degrees with barely a breeze. Tonight stays cozy — lows only drop to 52 around 4 A.M. Tomorrow? Even warmer at 85 under full sunshine. Down in Tucson, you're climbing to 78 by 3 P.M. With steady southeast winds around 10 miles an hour. Lows tonight hover near 48, then you jump to 83 Monday afternoon. We're running 16 degrees to 15 degrees above normal for late February. But up in Flagstaff, winter's still hanging around. You barely scratch 50 degrees by 4 P.M. Overnight lows drop to 17 around 6 A.M. — and it'll feel like 30 degrees by mid-morning thanks to that mountain chill. By midweek, even you warm into the 60s. That ridge of high pressure isn't moving. Central Arizona pushes toward 92 degrees by Friday — flirting with daily records. Southern Arizona hits the upper 80s to near 90. Even Flagstaff cracks 68 by weekend. Bone dry with just a whisper of wind midweek. One quick thing.

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the Arizona Weather Podcast. It's Saturday, February 17th. Folks, Arizona is serving up a 34 degree temperature spread this morning. That's not a typo. Northern Arizona woke up to 9 degrees. Nine. The kind of cold where your nostrils stick together on the inhale. Meanwhile, down in Tucson, you're sitting at a cozy 35 degrees in your slippers. Central Arizona splits the difference at 43 degrees. Here's the thing. Up in Flagstaff, a light northeast breeze at 5 miles an hour makes that single digit air bite even harder. Bundle up if you're heading out. Down south, a lazy 2 miles an hour southeast wind barely ruffles a napkin. The whole state stays bone dry today, but air quality is moderate, so if your lungs are sensitive, you'll want to take it easy. Now here's your heads up for the week ahead. We're climbing slowly out of this cold snap. Southern Arizona pushes toward 60 degrees by midweek. That's light jacket and sunglasses territory. The north? Stubbornly cold. Struggling to crack 20 degrees. No storms rolling in, but those overnight lows stay brutal up north. Keep that extra blanket handy. One thing that made me smile this morning. We're gaining nearly 3 minutes of daylight today alone. Sunrise hit at 6:32 A.M., and sunset stretches to 5:20 P.M. You can actually feel the days getting longer now. So whether you're layering up near Sedona or grabbing a light sweater for a Saturday stroll in Tucson, this's peak Arizona. Ski country and desert warmth, same state, same day. One more thing. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a friend. It really helps more folks find us. Stay safe out there. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. Take care!
