Residents of Phoenix, AZ can expect a slight break from the typically scorching temperatures with a forecast that suggests cooler days ahead, according to the latest update from the National Weather Service. Today's slight chance of showers – with only a 20% probability between 1pm and 3pm – might offer a brief reprieve from the dryness that Phoenix is known for, as the high is expected to peak around a comfortable 67 degrees.As the evening approaches the possibility of rain will have dissipated, and the skies will partly clear up, leaving residents with a night that is forecast to be partly cloudy and a low of around 49 degrees, the gentle west wind that's been moving will settle down, becoming still making for a calm evening.
The rest of the week promises a slow climb in temperature; a mostly sunny Thursday could bring about a high of 69 degrees, with a calm wind shifting south at about 5 mph in the afternoon.Looking forward to the weekend, Phoenix will bask in sunny conditions with no signs of precipitation from Friday through to Tuesday. Friday's partly sunny outlook gives way to an evening of clear skies with a low around 52 and a calm wind flickering to the west.
As Phoenix heats up to what feels like its quintessential weather, Saturday sets a tone of sunny skies and a high near 78 degrees. Calm winds will keep things gentle, and for those who enjoy the coolness of the evening, the temperature will gracefully fall to a low of around 55.Sunday and Monday continue to display the essence of Arizona's desert clime; sunshine will reign with highs of 81 and 85 degrees, respectively, and nights remain mostly clear, offering city dwellers a consistent pattern of mid-50s to low 60s as we glide into the next workweek.
Come Tuesday, Phoenix will hit temperatures that remind one of the pending return of its formidable summer heat, with a high near 90 degrees in sight, yet the presence of an east wind in the morning and a west-southwest wind by the afternoon ensures a degree of movement in the air..
