Tucson stares heat record in the face

[Ptah]

Tucson is poised to sizzle its way to a heat record: a month in which every single day tops
out at 100 degrees or higher.

"It's almost certain that every day in June will be 100 degrees or above," said Jim Meyer,
a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "We have never had a month like that before -
when every day reached 100 degrees or above."

The previous record for triple-digit days in a month was 28 - set last June.

Meyer said forecasts call for highs of at least 100 every day through Tuesday -
with temperatures soaring to 110 or 111 scorching degrees on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

1. The Arctic jet stream has been kinked up

and it's preventing the monsoonal flow from Mexico from getting started. That means it's going to stay hot.

It's going to be in the low 100s here in the high desert, too.

2. Up here...

...we're looking at 100s+ for the end of the week.

Come on monsoons!!!!

4. Yes!

The husband's band will be playing there July 4th, 5th & 6th!
They did such a beautiful job. The stage is gorgeous. A few problems with sound, but we're hoping it's taken care of by then.

I'll try to get a rain dance in on the 4th.
