Little signs of the monsoon are in the forecast as storm chances will be a meager 10% Thursday and Friday: and favoring places south and east of Tucson.
It’s been a hot summer so far for not only Arizona but much of the nation. For Arizona, July 2019 will go into the record books as the 13th hottest since records have been kept in 1895.
July numbers are in and it was the 13th hottest for Arizona. The west was the coolest with historic heat across much of the east and northeast. #AZwx #KVOAwx pic.twitter.com/D2OhZ5wARl
