Tucson Local Pulse: Spring Weather, Southeast Growth, and Easter Weekend Fun
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Friday, April 3rd.
We're waking up to mostly sunny skies today with temperatures climbing to around 84 degrees and a low of 59 tonight. It's going to be a beautiful spring day out there, so if you're planning outdoor activities, now's the time. The UV index is expected to peak this afternoon between one and two o'clock, so grab your sunscreen and sunglasses if you'll be out and about.
Speaking of what's happening around town, Tucson's southeast side is booming right now. KB Homes just wrapped up a 1.3 million dollar purchase of over 13 acres near Irvington and Winset roads. The company's betting big on growth in that area near Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. Meanwhile, the state sold another 44-acre plot near Houghton and Valencia for over 44 million dollars, and construction is already underway on new homes there. It's the latest sign of the residential development rush happening on our southeast side, though longtime residents tell us they're noticing increased traffic and hoping the city keeps up with infrastructure needs.
If you're looking for something to do this weekend, there's plenty happening. The National Intercollegiate Wheelchair Basketball Tournament continues through tomorrow here in Tucson. Tonight at the Rialto Theatre, the Menzingers are performing at eight o'clock. And if you're into drag shows and nightlife, IBT's Flawless Fridays starts at eight thirty. For those with kids, there are egg hunts and Easter Bunny visits happening around town as we head toward Easter Sunday.
Speaking of Easter, restaurants all across Tucson are getting ready with special brunch menus. From chef-driven buffets at places like Hacienda del Sol to casual brunch spots like Reilly Craft Pizza, there's something for every budget and taste this Sunday. Prices range from around 14 dollars for lighter fare up to 125 dollars for the full buffet experience at the Arizona Inn.
We should mention that the National Intercollegiate Wheelchair Basketball Tournament and NCAA Women's Final Four activities are drawing visitors to Arizona this weekend, and local bars and restaurants are gearing up for the crowds that'll be looking to celebrate and watch games.
Looking ahead to the weekend, Saturday's shaping up to be partly cloudy with highs near 88, and Sunday stays mostly sunny, climbing to around 90 degrees with just a small chance of rain late in the day.
