Residents of Phoenix are in for a stretch of clear skies and gradually climbing temperatures, according to reports from both the National Weather Service and FOX 10 Phoenix. Today, the city is basking in a generous 84 degrees, and things are only expected to heat up from here. A calm wind from the west, steadily blowing between 7 and 10 mph, should provide a slight respite from the daytime warmth.
As the sun sets on the desert city tonight, the sky remains clear, ushering in a cooler 56 degrees. In a statement obtained by the National Weather Service, wind conditions will slacken, becoming calm after a mild west southwest breeze. Yet, those same calm conditions have winds traveling around 5 to 9 mph at night, leaving residents with a gentle evening gust.
The weather takes a turn for the mildly torrid on Thursday, according to forecasts, with the mercury expected to hit a fiery 94 degrees, carried by a southern breeze post a modest east wind at 9 mph in the morning. The evening should provide a modest cooldown, with the temperature dipping down to a more manageable 64 degrees under mostly clear skies.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the clear trend continues with daytime highs reasonably floating around the high 80s to mid-90s. The National Weather Service indicates that Saturday will see a high of 88 degrees, which pares down to a comfortable 58 at night. Such conditions crafts a pleasant canvas for any evening plans, whether they involve a stroll through downtown or a quiet night at home.
Spirits are set to remain high as folks navigate the week ahead; the seven-day outlook from FOX 10 Phoenix promises sun-soaked days with the peak hitting 95 degrees on Thursday – a day shaping up to spell shorts and sunscreen for everyone stepping foot outside. Indeed, even the evenings will cling to the balminess, only softly descending into the 50s as the darkest hours approach.
