For me it depends on how fast I am talking. I'f i'm going slower than my
normal pace, or trying to speak slower, I ten to say it like "hour". If'
i'm going my normal pace or faster, it often sounds like "are".

My dialect is central coastal Californian,  which tends to be a bit
neutral as far as American accents go. I love teasing Southern
Californians about their accent (well many have it, some dont).
