Phoenix is starting Friday under mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 60s, with a warmer-but-wetter afternoon ahead. Rain showers are likely from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., with chances peaking in the afternoon as the high peaks near 77 before temperatures slide into the low 70s.
Showers Arrive After Lunch
The latest outlook from the National Weather Service puts Friday’s rain chance at 60%, with generally light totals below a tenth of an inch. Winds are light from the east early, shift to 150–210 degrees by midafternoon, and have an east/southeast component after sunset. The likely-shower window runs from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.; an isolated heavier burst or brief thunderstorm cannot be ruled out.
Friday night brings a 30% chance of showers before 8 p.m. and a low around 57. No watches or warnings are posted for the Phoenix area, but wet pavement could make the late-day commute and outdoor plans a little less predictable.
Sunny Reset Before Another Stormy Turn
Saturday should be partly sunny and cooler, topping out near 73, while Sunday turns sunny near 75. Monday rebounds to about 79 under mostly sunny skies, offering a brief dry reset that will feel like a short intermission in the forecast.
The quick flip is a substantial change from the dry, sunny 80s outlook Hoodline reported earlier this week, when rain was not expected in Phoenix through midweek. The newer forecast now points to another active weather period beginning Monday night and Tuesday.
Tuesday Looks Like The Wettest Day
Showers and thunderstorms return Monday night and Tuesday, with an 80% chance of precipitation and a Tuesday high near 71. Winds could gust to 20 mph, and rainfall totals may reach a quarter to half an inch before a cooler, sunnier Wednesday near 69.
