The temperature here was 12C / 54F at sunrise this morning and has since risen to a balmy 16C / 61F, despite the overcast and windy conditions. One or two spots nudged 17C / 63F although it is dropping off again as the first of two storms makes landfall up north.

Thats pretty crazy for California standards. I lived in Bellflower CA for years and in the early 90s we had a strong hail storm that went on for 10-15 minutes. It completely blanketed my town in hail that looked like snow. My street looked like it could have been in Illinois somewhere.

59F currently, on the way to 78-81F later, w/ some high clouds passing through..  Today will mark the end of this latest warm up as a rather chilly storm, scheduled to move through Tues- Wed, brings a pretty quick and dramatic temp. drop ( high of only 55-58 possible here on Wednesday ) ..and maybe some light showers/ snow for the high country / eastern AZ mountains ..before we bring back more early warmth next weekend - into the start of March..  If current thoughts don't change..

Few cold nights next week ..mid/ upper 30s possible, Nothing too far out of the ballpark for the end of Feb. though.  May get a touch colder in some spots in CA. this week from the same storm, but ..isn't too unusual to see some 30F readings there this close to the start of Spring..  Should warm up out there as well beyond next Friday/ Sat.

If the current forecast from typically In- Accuweather is hinting at something, could go from 56 this Wednesday, to close to 90 ( 87F suggested by them ) on the 3rd.. Obviously skeptical, but we'll see what happens.. Their " monthly " forecast also has a couple 90+ readings suggested later next month also.. Would give that a 22% chance of actually occurring right now.

Beyond the opening few days of next month, overall pattern across the U.S. could be setting up for some March Madness, depending on what the PNA decides to do as we get into March..

Hrmm.. So March really could  get interesting.. Now WX underground is hinting at some early  S. Western Sizzle. ..this time around the 6-8th of next month, vs. the 19-21st on in- Accuweather's current March forecast.. Might have to bump up the possibility ( of it actually happening ) to 26%, lol.. 

Will these kind of  #'s  stick beyond this morning's  06Z run? .. over the next couple days worth of runs?   ..We'll see..

44F currently, on the way to the mid/ upper 60s later.. Some rain chances still in play Wed.

A raw, windy, and showery 45F at 11AM, after briefly eclipsing 50F before the front reached this part of town.. 

Supposed to clear out before sunset, which is why the forecast is still calling for a high of 54-57F ..Give that a 40/60 shot of happening atm..  Could see some flakes in a few lower elevation spots on the far N.E. side of Phoenix, maybe near Superior and Boyce Thompson, out east of Florence, and in the Tucson Metro later.. Doesn't look like it will stick in any of those locations.

Any stronger, low- topped " Thunder" storms that occur today may present a few flashes and some Graupel / soft Hail anywhere in the valley..

Some forecasts suggest tonight will be the coldest in- town, ( 35-37F suggested here in Chandler ) Others think tomorrow night will be the coldest night - for this event - as winds quiet down/ air starts rapidly drying out.. ( Tonight's temp range, vs. 3-5deg warmer ) We'll see how it goes.. Not anticipating much frost, at least here. Usual sheltered / rural areas may drop to ..or just below 30-32. That said, unless things change later, even in towns in rural S.E. AZ, lows don't go below 20 in many areas you'd assume would see high - teens during such a cold storm event..

  Highs go from 59-61 tomorrow, to 66-70 Friday.. 70's over the weekend/ start of next week, 80s majority of next week, ..before maybe another storm tries to swing through the state later..

This weather is officially insane, it's 70 F now going down to 30 F tonight.  This may be a record drop for my area in a 24 hour period.

..As suggested earlier:   Area in the tweet is located in the Pinnacle Peak / N. Scottsdale area of the valley.. Sure more reports will come in now that the cold side of the storm is plowing forward, up into the foothills now.

I think I am craving San Diego, boring weather after all this.  Probably 120 by mid-summer. The extremes are really getting to me. Getting too old for this sh't.

35F at 7:37AM  w/ just a hint of frost in open sky spots out front,  < close to the street, - of all spots- > ..on rooftops, and a skim of slushy ice covering some puddles that formed on one of the cold frames out back.. Pretty typical for this kind of event.. Upper 50s- lowest 60s today under clear skies ..then another chilly night ( 34-36F suggested again ) Unlike this morning <  as was suggested by most forecasts > Could see less frost if dew points drop through the day/ over night -as suggested.

Overall, fairly consistent readings region - wide w/ areas around San Jose looking to have some of the coldest readings. ( only one sub- 30 reading ( 28F ) in Tucson ..close to Agua Caliente Park in the Tanque Verde area.. Would have expected that part of to have colder readings this morning. )

A nice end of February Saturday in the upper 60s. Back to the low / mid 70s  tomorrow w/ some high clouds passing through. Potential " Sweet Sunset Alert " possible?

80 ..or greater Monday- at least Thursday. Wx Underground now has the 2nd day of March flirting w/ 90F  ..wavering between 88- 89 right now..  Will we get there?  We'll see..

Back down into the 70s net weekend, upper 60s/ lower 70s to start the first full week of March..

..Wayyy off in the distance, and obviously will change,  but worth mentioning Accuweather is already suggesting a quick start to 100 / 100+ heat season ..for early May, roughly a month ahead of typical..

What better way to kick off March,  ..and the start of Meteorological Spring.  Forecast is 83F later..  Think we'll beat that today.

12:20PM temps:   Fewer clouds atm so anticipate there will be more 90s on the map later today ..unless clouds move back in and cut back on afternoon Insolation.

Quick, " Low Desert Roller Coaster Ride " starts tomorrow when we drop all the way back to the 68-72 or 3 range, then sit in the 60s to start next week.. May be the last round of lower 40 lows ( WX Underground forecast ) for the year as well. Some forecasts call for a shower or two here as some upper level disturbances scrape across the northern and eastern parts of the state but doubt we'll see anything.. Some snow is possible up in the mountains, though none of the forecast, passing systems look like they'll drop anything significant.

Back to around 80 / low 80's by next Saturday.. Could be setting up for an extended run of mid/ upper 80's just beyond the current 10 day, & into the official start to Astronomical Spring / end of the month ( Current Accuweather " thoughts "/ some forecast runs ).
