Phoenix is starting Saturday under mostly clear skies near 62 degrees, but the Valley is headed for a sunny afternoon around 82. The calm, dry morning sets up another easy outdoor-weather day, with no rain expected and only a light northeast breeze.

Sunny Saturday Starts A Warmer Stretch

Saturday’s high should reach about 82 before easing toward 80 late in the afternoon, while winds stay between 0 and 5 mph from the northeast and the rain chance sits at just 1%, according to the National Weather Service. The new outlook is warmer than Hoodline’s earlier forecast, which had the weekend topping out closer to the upper 70s and around 80.

Veterans Day Looks Sunny Too

Sunday through Tuesday remain sunny with highs near 82 and nighttime lows from 58 to 60. Veterans Day on Wednesday should also be sunny and near 82, followed by Thursday around 83 and Friday around 81, with overnight lows mostly staying in the upper 50s or near 60.

Dry Skies, But River Flows Stay High

There are no watches, warnings or advisories for Phoenix in the current forecast, and the broader pattern stays dry through next Friday. The main local caution is away from the pavement: flows on the Salt and Gila rivers are expected to remain elevated through at least early next week because of dam releases. Clear skies do not make fast-moving water safe, so residents should avoid riverbanks, low-water crossings and any posted closures.
