The National Weather Service is projecting a high of 59 degrees at Tucson International Airport for Wednesday, which would be a record low maximum temperature for the day.
The current record “high” low, of 61, was set in 1996.
If Wednesday goes as planned it would be 40 degrees cooler than it was on Oct. 17, when it hit 99 to tie that day’s all-time high.
Thursday’s high at the airport is expected to be 61, a degree warmer than the record “high” low of 60 set in 1961.
Overnight lows of 38 for Thursday morning and 35 on Friday are also a byproduct of the pending storm, which is rolling down from the Pacific Northwest and could bring some showers late Tuesday and early Wednesday, meteorologist Jeff Davis said.
“This storm is going further south than we normally see at this time of year,” Davis said.
