Phoenix residents can expect a shift in the weather over the next few days, with the forecast indicating an increase in cloud coverage and some subtle swings in temperature. According to the National Weather Service, today's skies will become cloudier with highs approaching a warm 90 degrees, while the evening will offer some respite, hosting partly cloudy skies and more agreeable lows around 65 degrees.
The remainder of the workweek holds promise for those favoring sunnier skies as Thursday and Friday are slated to be sunny, with temperatures peaking near 92 degrees and nights cooling to the mid-60s. Despite the welcoming warmth, the mild west wind winding its way through the afternoons will shift to a calm whisper come evening, catching those unprepared for the abrupt stillness that often descends upon the desert landscape.
As we tip into the weekend, Saturday continues the trend of clear skies and warm temperatures, with a high again near 92 degrees, though the wind will pick up slightly, offering a variable breeze of south-southwest air. The National Weather Service predicts "mostly clear" conditions for Saturday night with the thermometer nudging downwards to a low around 63, but keep in mind the southwest wind could breeze through at 5 to 10 mph.
Come Sunday, expect a significant drop in the mercury with a high of only 77 degrees, and while sunny conditions prevail, winds may gust as high as 20 mph. This cooling trend is punctuated by a Sunday night dip to around 53 degrees with the continued presence of potentially gusty winds. The following Monday and Tuesday, the National Weather Service anticipates a mild warming with highs in the mid-70s to low 80s and lows in the 50s to near 60.
