Arizona weather forecast: High pressure system brings above-average highs to the Valley

A warm and dry weather pattern will grip the region moving forward.

Today:

Tuesday was a warm day in the Valley, with temperatures climbing to 77 degrees. Skies were mostly sunny across Arizona, and the winds were gusty in the high country.

Tonight will be quiet and clear for most of Arizona, and temperatures will fall into the upper 40s. The winds are expected to be gusty along the Mogollon Rim, especially the Payson area. 

Tomorrow:

The winds will also be gusty on Wednesday in the high country, with 20-35 mph winds, especially along the Mogollon Rim. The Valley will not be too breezy.

Wednesday will be warm, with a high of around 78 degrees. 

What to Expect:

High pressure is strengthening against the West Coast and will remain in place over the week, at least. As a result, it will push our high temperatures into well-above average territory. The area of high pressure will also keep us dry with no chance for rain in the near future. Snow chances will also be sorely missed moving forward.

In Phoenix, the forecast high hits 73 on Tuesday, 77 on Wednesday and 78 on Thursday. Mid-to-upper-70s are likely for the rest of the work week and weekend. Records will not be broken, but it will run close to record level by Wednesday and Thursday.

Warmer than normal temperatures will be in the upper 70s through the weekend and most of next week. No storms are expected.

Looking Ahead:

Next week will continue dry and warmer than normal in the 70s.
