Phoenix is starting Sunday under clear skies, with a sunny afternoon ahead and a high near 82 degrees. The warm, dry pattern will stick around for most of the week, giving residents several easy days for outdoor plans.

The National Weather Service expects easterly winds Sunday, with a few gusts in the mid-teens possible late Sunday morning. Temperatures should ease back to around 59 degrees Sunday night before Monday climbs to about 83 under more sunshine.

A Warm, Dry Stretch Takes Over

Tuesday and Veterans Day should remain sunny, with highs near 82 and overnight lows around 59. Thursday looks like the warmest day of the stretch, reaching about 84 degrees, though east winds could pick up slightly to 5 to 10 mph.

Small Rain Chance Arrives Late Week

Friday will still be mostly sunny and warm, but the pattern becomes less settled Friday night and Saturday. The forecast puts rain chances around 20%, with a slight chance of showers late Friday night and a chance of showers or thunderstorms Saturday, when the high should fall to about 77.

No Phoenix Advisories In The Forecast

No watches, warnings, or advisories are posted for the Phoenix area. The weather service also notes that flows on the Salt and Gila rivers will remain elevated through at least midweek because of dam releases, so visitors near those waterways should use extra caution even during the dry spell.
