The forecast for Phoenix, AZ, looks to be a blend of sun and clouds for the upcoming week with fluctuating chances of showers and peaks of warmth that hint at the proximity of summer months; a noticeable progression into the sweltering desert heat that is the hallmark of the region. According to National Weather Service, today Phoenicians can expect a partly sunny day with a high near 66 degrees, though wind gusts may reach as high as 20 mph, giving a breezy reprieve to the residents. Tonight will see a 30 percent chance of early showers before clearing up as the low settles around 48 degrees.

As we move into the week, National Weather Service predicts calming winds with tomorrow's sunny skies boasting a high near 71, and Tuesday and Wednesday following closely behind with highs near 70 and 76 respectively; the lows during these nights will drop to the low fifties. Conversely, FOX 10 Phoenix reports somewhat warmer evenings and no signs of showers in their forecast which predicts partly cloudy skies at night through the week with temperature lows gradually climbing from the high forties to the high fifties albeit the days warm steadily, peaking on Friday at a toasty 84 degrees.

Thursday, we see a surge in the mercury as per the National Weather Service, with Phoenix heating up to a high near 83 degrees, while the night's temperature is expected to be a mild low around 58 degrees; suggests residents could be gearing up for the high-energy outdoor activities that arid climate permits. Throughout Thursday and into Friday, the sun remains a steadfast companion, soaring to highs that nudge the mid-eighties, a testament to the Southwestern city's burgeoning springtime.

The weekend maintains this sunny disposition, with FOX 10 Phoenix indicating a mostly sunny Saturday with a high near 82 degrees, only to dip slightly on Sunday in a high of 65 and a cooler low of 51 degrees giving a brief respite to what's otherwise a gradual climb into the warmth that's typical for this time of year in this desert city.
