Arizona weather forecast: Phoenix highs in the 80s all week before weekend rain chances

Arizona forecast: Warm week ahead of possible rain

Arizona temperatures climb into the 80s under high pressure before a weekend storm cools the area and brings a 10% chance of rain.

PHOENIX - Monday was a beautiful start to the week across Arizona! Temperatures ran slightly warmer than normal, with a high of 83 degrees in Phoenix. High pressure has caused temperatures to heat up compared to last week, and the high pressure will strengthen through mid-week, leading to some even warmer days ahead. Skies will stay mostly to partly sunny and dry through Thursday, thanks to the current pattern.

Tonight and Tomorrow:

Tonight, the Valley will cool back to around 63 degrees, and Tuesday will be a slightly warmer day, with a high of 84 degrees in Phoenix. Valley temperatures will top out in the mid-80s each afternoon through Thursday, and overnight lows will keep falling back to the low 60s.

Looking Ahead:

A low pressure system is expected to move into the southwest this weekend, but the timing, speed and track of the storm are still up in the air. All of these factors will determine who sees rain and when. For now, there is a slight chance of rain in the Valley on Saturday. The chance for rain is even lower for the high country, but we will keep you updated!
