Fried egg flowers

They're known as fried egg flowers for obvious reasons. These over-easy fried eggs, also called prickly poppies, are blooming this week along the road into Madera Canyon south of Tucson. Photo by Doug Kreutz, Arizona Daily Star.

Warm conditions continue today, but get ready for a quick shift in the weather by week's end.

Temperatures are expected to be in the low-80s Wednesday and Thursday but by Friday night, a chance of valley rain and mountain snow will have rolled into town, accompanied by much lower temperatures.
