Isolated severe storm potential remains tonight and tomorrow. That would mean mostly strong to severe winds, small hail, and isolated heavy rainfall. However, very Western Pima County, including Ajo, is under an isolated tornado threat tonight. Tomorrow that isolated tornado threat shifts to our northwest with very northern Pinal County under the risk.
As Rachel is expected to make landfall to our southwest tonight, widespread gusty winds start to move in overnight and peak tomorrow. Wind Advisory starts in the morning hours and goes through the evening. Winds on Sunday of 25-35 mph with gusts 45-55 mph. Blowing dust concerns are possible tonight and definitely tomorrow. Monday will still remain breezy but not as gusty as Sunday.
Our big temperature drop begins now with temperatures falling into the mid-80s tomorrow before highs just in the 70s early-to-mid next week. We’ll warm back into the 80s late week, but we’ll likely still stay below normal.
