Phoenix residents can expect a mix of sunshine, clouds, and occasional showers over this week, following the National Weather Service’s latest report. Today, the city will face potential thunderstorms before 2 pm with a 50% chance of precipitation, and it might include heavy rain until easing in the afternoon. With a high of 61 degrees, winds are expected to shift from the south-southeast to west-southwest, possibly gusting as high as 18 mph, as stated on the NWS website.
For the nocturnal hours, the skies turn to mostly cloudy with a moderate low around 47 degrees, calming to an east-southeast breeze, per the National Weather Service. Tomorrow's forecast tells a wetter tale: an 80% chance of showers with a shift in the wind again, peaking with gusts possibly up to 21 mph. But the mercury will drop slightly to a high near 58, so keep your raincoat at the ready.
The upcoming weekend offers a respite from the rain with a mostly sunny Friday and a high near 59 degrees. As per the recent update from the FOX 10 Phoenix weather report, Friday night will stay mostly cloudy hovering a low around 43. A slight chance of showers greets the valley on Saturday before 11 am and by Sunday, clear skies will take over with a high of 62 degrees, setting the tone for a sunny start to the next week.
Evening temperatures for the next several days will vary little, generally bottoming around the low 40s, except for Wednesday night where they are expected to rise to about 47 degrees. Looking ahead into mid-February, the forecast suggests a steady warming trend, with Tuesday seeing highs touching near 69 degrees and Wednesday climbing to 72. The absence of rainfall in the extended forecast is a welcome change for those weary of winter showers. So, as the city moves into the heart of February, Phoenix could well be inching towards an early spring.
