Phoenix is starting Monday, October 26, with clear skies and temperatures in the low 60s, but the desert chill will not last long. Sunshine will push the high near 85 degrees, with light winds, no rain and an evening low around 59.

Quiet, Sunny Weather Holds Through Wednesday

Tuesday, October 27, and Wednesday, October 28, stay sunny to mostly sunny, with highs near 86 degrees and overnight lows from 55 to 60. Winds should remain light, while rain chances stay near zero through Tuesday before clouds begin building Wednesday.

Rain Returns Thursday Night

Thursday, October 29, starts partly sunny, with a 50% chance of showers mainly after 11 p.m. The bigger shift comes Thursday night into Friday, October 30, when showers and thunderstorms become likely; Friday's high should reach only about 77 degrees, with an 80% chance of rain and potential rainfall between a quarter-inch and half-inch, according to the National Weather Service.

Halloween Weekend Looks Wet And Cooler

Saturday, October 31, brings mostly cloudy skies, a 30% chance of showers and a high near 77. Rain becomes more likely Saturday night, followed by a stormy Sunday, November 1, when showers are expected, the high may reach only 71 degrees and rainfall could total a half-inch to three-quarters of an inch.

The wetter Sunday outlook is a notable turn from Hoodline's earlier forecast, which described Friday as the main wet-weather concern. No watches or warnings are posted for Arizona right now, but Halloween plans may need rain gear and an indoor backup as the weekend forecast firms up.
