Phoenix residents can expect a swing in weather conditions throughout the week, according to the latest forecasts from multiple sources. The National Weather Service predicts a wet beginning with a 60% chance of showers today, mainly before 11 am, with a high near 63 degrees and a mix of sun and clouds. This evening, the rain chances ramp up to 80%, including potential thunderstorms and a low of around 52 degrees.
The unsettled weather is set to continue into Monday, with a 70% chance of showers before giving way to a mostly cloudy day and a high of 64. Come Monday night, skies will partly clear, and temperatures will drop to around 51, as reported by the National Weather Service. The forecast for Tuesday, however, offers a reprieve from the rain with sunny skies and a higher temperature near 74 degrees.
FOX 10 Phoenix echoes the prediction of improving conditions, anticipating that the mercury will rise sharply midweek, seeing a high of 82 degrees on Wednesday and an even warmer Thursday with temperatures potentially topping out at 87 degrees. The warmth is a stark contrast to the cool and wet start of the week, illustrating the region's volatile spring weather pattern.
However, the warm spell will be short-lived, as temperatures are expected to take another nosedive by Friday, plunging back to a comparatively chilly high near 66 degrees, and a low of 47 degrees for Friday night. The weekend outlook is rather pleasant, with sunny skies and highs in the mid-60s, which should provide an excellent opportunity for those wishing to enjoy outdoor activities, according to FOX 10 Phoenix. Next week begins with conditions similar to those of this past weekend, with highs in the mid-70s to accompany the sunny days.
