Arizona weather forecast: Record-breaking temperatures in Phoenix

4 p.m. Weather Forecast - 12/3/24

Phoenix broke a record high for today!

PHOENIX - Another day of warmer than normal temperatures!

While cold air dominates the eastern half of the country, much warmer than normal conditions are controlling the western half. Phoenix will run more than 10 degrees above normal again on Tuesday.

The high temperature was 83 degrees, NWS says. This high beat the current record for warmth, set back in 1940.

While the general pattern will still bring the area above average temperatures through the week and weekend, a small disturbance will help drop temperatures back to the mid to upper 70s beginning Wednesday. A high of 76 is forecast in Phoenix Wednesday with highs between 77 and 78 degrees Thursday through Saturday.

Through the rest of the work week and into the weekend, sky conditions will remain sunny to mostly sunny. Overnight lows will also run a bit above average in the low 50s.

By late weekend into early next week, a storm system will develop along the Pacific Northwest. It may dive far enough south to bring some moisture to Northern Arizona early next week. While too early to be certain on precipitation impacts, it's likely it will bring cooler air to the state. This should return high temperatures to average for December-- middle to upper 60s in Phoenix.
