As Phoenix gears up for another scorching week, the National Weather Service has laid out an extended sunny forecast, with temperatures steadily rising and peaking near the triple digits by Friday. The forecast details consecutive days of clear skies, with gentle winds making a slight appearance in the afternoons.
Today, residents can expect the mercury to hit 96 degrees with only the gentlest westward breezes for relief. By nightfall, these breezes are anticipated to calm, leaving Arizonians with a mild 65-degree evening to look forward to. The warming trend continues as Thursday's forecast predicts a high of 98 degrees, accompanied by similarly calm conditions. Nighttime brings only a slight dip to 67 degrees with the comfort of a mild westerly wind. There’s little respite in sight, as Friday's scorching 101 degrees serves as a prelude to a weekend just shy of those highs. A light variable wind might offer a momentary break from the heat as gusts could pick up to 20 mph on Saturday.
The outlook sourced from the National Weather Service indicates a subtle drop in temperatures after Saturday's potential high of 100 degrees, with Sunday's warmth tapering slightly to a peak of 93 degrees and an evening cool down to 65 degrees. The projected sunny stretch boldly extends into the beginning of the new week, with Monday showing potential highs near 91 degrees, and even by Tuesday, temperatures won't waver far from the 90-degree benchmark.
