Phoenix Weather Update: Near Normal Temperatures and Potential Showers Ahead
PHOENIX – The Phoenix area is set to experience near normal afternoon temperatures and comfortable morning weather over the next few days. Overnight temperatures are projected to drop into the low to mid-60s by Tuesday morning, making for a pleasant start to the day.
Tuesday afternoon is expected to see highs approach 90 degrees, accompanied by high clouds that will develop later in the day and continue into the evening. There is a possibility of a weather phenomenon known as virga, which occurs when rain evaporates before it reaches the ground, from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. Additionally, light sprinkles may be experienced in the higher terrains north and east of Phoenix during this period.
Wednesday will begin with lingering clouds before temperatures warm up again, reaching the low 90s in the afternoon. However, a notable shift in weather is forecasted for Thursday, as highs are expected to drop to the low 80s, signaling a day that feels more reminiscent of fall.
As the weekend approaches, the jet stream is anticipated to flatten, leading to temperatures ranging from the mid to upper 80s across the region. In contrast, the High Country will continue to experience above-normal temperatures and dry conditions through Tuesday.
Potential Showers and Thunderstorms
A cut-off low is expected to move into Arizona on Wednesday, bringing with it the chance for isolated showers and thunderstorms, particularly in the northern and eastern regions of the state. By Thursday morning, there could be a mix of some high elevation snow with rain on the Kaibab Plateau and San Francisco Peaks; however, no significant accumulation is expected.
Overall Weather Forecast
Overall, the weather forecast indicates warmer than normal temperatures across Arizona, maintaining mostly sunny skies for the duration of the week. Residents are advised to prepare for fluctuating temperatures, especially as the fall season approaches.
