Moving into Friday and the weekend, Phoenix will continue to bask in sunny weather, with Friday's high increasing slightly to near 68 degrees. Winds are expected to slow to a calm lull in the afternoon, veering from east-northeast around 5 mph. The tranquility of Friday night will see the sky mostly cloudy, while temperatures hover around 41 degrees. Saturday's forecast appears somewhat similar, with mostly cloudy skies and the mercury peaking at around 68 degrees.
The National Weather Service forecasts a slight uptick in cloud coverage come Saturday night, but the low should remain consistent at 44 degrees. Weather changes seem set to rear up on Sunday with a 20 percent chance of showers post-11 am, despite a mostly sunny outlook and a high again close to 68 degrees. These benign conditions will gently, yet quickly shift as we move into the new week, suggesting a subtle disturbance in the climatic serenity that has marked the city's weather in recent days.
Monday's conditions will likely turn capricious, bringing a 40 percent probability of showers with partly sunny skies and a high near 66 degrees. Into Monday night, the chance of precipitation remains, though slightly reduced, with a 30 percent chance of showers amidst mostly cloudy skies and a low of around 42 degrees. A peculiar pattern establishes itself: intermittently clearing and clouding over, as Tuesday's forecast shows a higher 50 percent chance of showers along with partly sunny conditions and a high edging downward to near 62 degrees.
Residents should keep their umbrellas close, as the variable weather persists into the midweek. Wednesday is forecast to see a return to mostly sunny conditions with a high near 61 degrees.
