Prickly pear fruits

Prickly pear cacti in the Tucson area are laden with plump, red fruits at this time of year. Photo taken on July 26, 2016.

Storm activity is unlikely to return to the Tucson area before Friday, but enough moisture is in the region that isolated to scattered showers are possible for areas to the east of Pima County. However, even without the rain, temperatures will stay relatively mild through the weekend.
