As Phoenix residents don their sunglasses and shorts to commemorate Veterans Day, they can expect clear skies and balmy temperatures. According to the National Weather Service, the high for today is near 86 degrees with a gentle east wind around 5 mph, which will settle down as the day progresses. The evening foretells a partly cloudy night with a comfortable low around 60 degrees.
Transitioning into midweek, the city's weather continues to hold steady. Wednesday brings us partly sunny skies with a high touching 84 degrees. A persistent east wind near 5 mph is expected to calm down, seeming to pause and take a breath in recognition of the surrounding desert tranquility. As night falls, temperatures are slated to hover around 61 degrees under mostly cloudy skies.
Thursday's forecast mirrors Wednesday's with partly sunny conditions and a high edging towards 86 degrees, maintaining the week's warm trend. The calm wind will again shift from east, circling back around to a quiet hush by daylight's end. Night-time will draw in a mostly cloudy sky, with the low settling at around 64 degrees.
However, the weather narrative takes a turn come Friday. Prepare for a day of change as there's a chance of showers and possible thunderstorms after 11am, as foretold by the weather oracle. It's on this day that Phoenix's populace should brace for a cooler high near 75 degrees and southeast winds gusting between 5 to 10 mph, with gusts reaching up to 20 mph. "Chance of precipitation is 50%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible," reports the NWS.
The sky maintains its capricious mood through Friday night, offering up a 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms, while temperatures dip to a low around 57 degrees. The subsequent days leading into the weekend remain mostly cloudy and showery, with decreasing precipitation probabilities and a gradual descent to the upper 60s by Sunday.
Reverting to its sunnier disposition, Phoenix will see out the weekend on a brighter note with mostly sunny skies and a high near 67 on Sunday, carrying the fair weather into Monday, with temperatures lingering around 69 degrees. For those longing for a bit of consistency in these uncertain times, the week ahead, albeit a dynamic one, pledges to remind us that the sun will indeed come out tomorrow—or by the latest, Sunday.
