Residents of Phoenix, AZ can expect to endure another series of intensely hot days ahead. Today's temperature is soaring to a high near 110 degrees, with a west wind cruising at a gentle 5 to 10 mph, according to the National Weather Service. The dry heat continues into the night, settling at a low around 87 degrees, ultimately giving the West wind a chance to calmly shift to the southeast after midnight.
This pattern of sunshine and elevated temperatures is set to persist throughout the week. Sunday's forecast promises a high of 109 degrees, with light winds that are forecasted to, on occasion, gust as high as 20 mph. Maintaining this trend, Monday's temperature will peak around 110 degrees, while the nighttime promises a slight reprieve with a low hovering at 88 degrees.
The forecast, sourced from the National Weather Service and last updated today at 5:05 a.m. MST, anticipates that Tuesday will slightly up the ante with a high of 111 degrees. Clear skies during the day and mostly clear skies at night hint at minimal chances for any substantial cooling. Come Wednesday, those in Phoenix can once again prepare for a high near 110 degrees.
There's a whisper of change, however slightest, later in the week. By Thursday, the forecast is teasing a 10 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. And while the day will still be sunny with a high near 108 degrees, this small chance of precipitation could offer a brief, though perhaps not substantial, sigh of relief. Similarly, Friday comes with a forecast that includes a 10 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms and temperatures hovering around 106 degrees.
The consistency of the weather pattern underscores the region's well-known reputation for sweltering summer heat.
