Sun and clouds mix for Saturday, but the rain batch appears to nudge in before sunset Saturday. Still reaching 90 or better. Late Saturday into Sunday, stormy with strong winds building early Sunday through the early afternoon. This is likely to generate at least a Wind Advisory if not a High Wind Warning. Tropical moisture will be the star this weekend and into next week.
Leftovers from Rachel will push into southern Arizona on Sunday into Monday. Not much of break until some moisture from a successor tropical system from the Pacific. Simon, is looking to pass to our east, but might scrounge up a few scattered thundershowers from him. Timing of these systems is still being worked on, but the heaviest winds most likely will be Sunday midday.
This dose of tropical moisture will actually help push our highs down and in the wake of this, could revisit the 60’s for lows !
