As Phoenix residents look forward to the coming week, they should prepare for an array of weather conditions, from potential showers to clear sunny skies. According to the National Weather Service, the city's mostly cloudy forecast for today will give way to a more varied pattern of weather in the days ahead.
Starting off, there's a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms overnight, and the city can expect mostly sunny skies today, with a high near 90 degrees. Despite the promise of sunshine, residents should keep umbrellas at hand, as there is a 40 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, mainly after 2pm. Tonight, the likelihood of rainfall drops to 30 percent, but the clouds linger on—mostly cloudy, indeed.
The intermittent wet weather is set to continue with tomorrow presenting a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms before 11 am, then making way for sunnier climes as the day progresses. While early risers might encounter raindrops, the latter part of the day could be ideal for those aiming to soak up some vitamin D with a high near 89 degrees and a turn toward clear skies in the evening.
Heading into the new work week, Phoenix is gearing up for a steady dose of sunshine. Monday's forecast heralds a sunny day with a high near 92 degrees, and the nights are to remain clear with a low around 72. Then, the city can anticipate a gradual uptick in temperature, though the breeze might offer a reprieve, particularly in the afternoons when it shifts from a calm wind to a 5 mph westerly flow on Friday.
For those planning ahead, mid-week weather presents an opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities under the clear, blue AZ sky. From Tuesday through Thursday, residents can expect consistently sunny days with highs creeping up from 94 to 97 degrees. And, as night falls, the absence of clouds is to endure, ensuring crisp evening air and starry skies, perfect for al fresco dining or nighttime strolls.
