Phoenix wakes up to mostly clear skies and dry air on Friday, May 29, 2026, with temperatures this morning sitting around 70°F and an afternoon high near 87°F on tap. Sunshine is expected to hang around through the weekend, and no measurable precipitation is in the forecast.
Afternoon Winds Pick Up
Winds will crank up this afternoon, with south-southwest speeds generally 0 to 10 mph and gusts near 20 mph across the valley. Exposed ridgelines and passes may be breezier, so secure loose patio furniture and be ready for crosswinds on bridges during the evening commute.
Weekend And Week Ahead
Temperatures climb through the weekend: look for highs near 92°F on Saturday and about 99°F on Sunday before triple-digit readings return by Monday. According to NWS Phoenix, valley highs could top roughly 102 to 105°F early next week, increasing the area's heat risk; for background on the setup see an earlier valley heat outlook.
How To Prepare
If you have outdoor plans, shift strenuous activity to morning or evening, drink plenty of water, and check on older neighbors and pets during the warmest hours. Secure furniture and loose items before gusty periods and avoid open burning in dry, windy areas, and keep an eye on local forecasts as the heat builds next week.
