Tucson Weather: Residents of Tucson can expect a marked shift in weather as cooler temperatures and breezy conditions move into the region this week. Following a streak of unusually hot days, the National Weather Service has forecasted a refreshing break beginning Monday, October 29, 2024.

Breezy Start to the Week

As a low-pressure system approaches, Tucson will experience breezy to windy conditions, with sustained winds ranging from 15 to 25 mph starting Monday afternoon. Meteorologist April Madison notes that this breezy weather will continue into Tuesday, contributing to a significant drop in temperatures.

Temperature Drop

Tuesday’s high is expected to plummet from the mid-90s on Monday to a much cooler mid-70s, with a forecasted high of 74 degrees. Wednesday will see a similar high of 75 degrees, while temperatures will rise slightly to 81 degrees on Thursday. This sudden drop in temperatures will likely catch many residents off guard, particularly those unaccustomed to the significant change.

Freezing Temperatures in the Valleys

Areas south and east of Tucson may experience freezing temperatures in the coldest valleys. This 10-20 degree drop is part of a larger trend as seasonal temperatures return from Thursday through Saturday.

Upcoming Weather Systems

Looking ahead, another weather system is projected to move into the region early next week, potentially bringing further cooling and unsettled weather. While the specifics of this system are still being evaluated, it serves as a reminder that Tucson’s weather can change rapidly.
