Phoenix residents are looking at a week of sunny skies and typical desert heat, the National Weather Service has reported. With only a slight 20 percent chance of showers in the early hours, the days ahead are predicted to be predominantly clear. The temperatures will hover around the mid-100s, offering no respite from the August warmth that Phoenix is known for. According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will have a 20 percent chance of showers before 2:00 PM, and it will be mostly sunny with a high near 106.
Coming into the evening, the winds, predominantly coming from the east-southeast and calming towards night, suggest a consistency in the pattern, despite there being an upswing to about 20 mph gusts overnight. The steady forecast points to lows in the mid-80s. A mostly clear sky promises stargazers unobstructed views, as long as they can bear the nighttime warmth still lingering at around 83 degrees.
The high-temperature trend doesn’t seem to be breaking anytime soon. Thursday and Friday are both slated to be sunny, with a high scratching at 108 degrees on Friday. These days, the unmerciful sun overhead will sear any thoughts of relief, the wind offering only a whispered promise of movement in the hot air, as it becomes west around 5 mph in the afternoon, according to forecasts.
Weekend projections maintain this continuity of clear skies and incessant heat, with the mercury expected to hit near 107 across both Saturday and Sunday. Saturday Night's temperature is forecast to dip slightly, bringing with it a low of around 83 degrees. While the wind will remain a nearly silent observer to the ongoings of the city, its presence felt lightly in the evenings, as it shifts from north-northeast wind around 5 mph becoming east southeast, come evening.
The extended outlook into Labor Day doesn't anticipate much variation, keeping with sunny skies and steady highs. Residents can expect the start of their workweek to continue the trend of clear skies with no sign of significant weather disruptions, apart from the ongoing heat. The nighttime forecast mirrors previous nights with lows remaining consistently in the 80s, suggesting that the warmth of Phoenix summers intends to linger a while longer. The National Weather Service rounds off their forecast with another sunny day on Tuesday with a high near 106.
