Brace yourselves, Phoenix residents—the mercury is hitting the roof this week, and the forcast is predicting scorching weather conditions for the area. "Sunny," for instance, forecasts a high of 109 degrees for Phoenix with only a slight breeze to provide a semblance of relief. Even as the sun sets, temperatures are expected to hover around 88 degrees. Tuesday won't offer much respite, with the thermometer edging even higher to near 110 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.
Troubles don't end there for locals, as the night isn't slated to bring much cooling. The skies are predicted to remain "Mostly clear," with lows maintaining at a toasty 88 degrees. As the City of the Sun gears into the middle of the week, the National Weather Service indicates a shift. Starting Wednesday, there’s a 30 percent chance for showers and thunderstorms in the forecast, a potential, albeit a slight one, for the city's searing streak to be interrupted. While these chances persist, daytime temperatures will drop slightly, predicting a high near 105 degrees.
Looking forward to the latter part of the week, Phoenicians can expect a continuation of chances for precipitation. Wednesday Night’s forecast shows "A 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms," while Thursday brings along a familiar 30 percent chance of rain, mainly before 11 a.m, as reported by the National Weather Service. As these uncertain precipitative patterns linger, Phoenix will experience a mostly sunny Thursday with an anticipated high of 104 degrees—just two degrees shy of what's expected for Friday, which is predicted to be a sunny 106 degrees.
The forecast late into the week suggests slightly lower nighttime temperatures, with both Thursday Night and Friday Night predicting lows hovering around the low 80s. "Mostly clear" skies are expected with a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 11 p.m. on Thursday. Carrying on into the weekend, Saturday's outlook sees a continuation of sun with a high near 104 degrees, diminishing only slightly for a nightly expected low of 82 degrees. Sunday, too, promises unabated sunshine with temperatures possibly reaching 106 degrees again, as calm winds mark a resolute end to the week, as per the National Weather Service.
