Evening Weather Forecast - 3/10/26

After starting the week with some rainfall, it will slowly heat back up as the storm system moves east. FOX 10's Erica Horvatin has the latest on when we can see temps in the 90s once again.

PHOENIX - Following the showers and thunderstorms that tracked across our state Monday evening, we're now expecting a drier spell ahead.

Today:

Rain moved out of Arizona on Tuesday, and temperatures stayed cooler behind the storm system.

Phoenix only warmed to 77 degrees, which is right around normal. The winds have been breezy, but they will lighten up tonight through Wednesday. Tonight will cool to around 57 degrees in the Valley.

Later This Week:

The rest of the week is looking warmer, calmer and mainly sunny.

Enjoy the 70s while you can! The forecast high climbs to 84 degrees on Wednesday. By Thursday, the forecast high reaches the low 90s. Temperatures will stay in the low to mid 90s through the weekend.

Friday is forecast to hit 94 degrees, which may set a new record for heat. The current record on Friday is 92, set back in 2017. This weekend the temperatures will also flirt with records. Make sure your air conditioner is ready to go!

Looking Further Ahead:

Early next week, the forecast high climbs to the mid to upper 90s. By mid-next week, the first triple digit days of 2026 are now in the forecast. While there's still time for the pattern to shift and keep us below this record threshold, it currently appears we'll see 100 degrees by Wednesday with triple digits continuing through Thursday, at least.

The earliest 100-degree day on record at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is March 26, 1988. The average first 100 degree day in Phoenix is May 2.

Big picture view:

No rain is in the immediate future, as we'll remain dry and sunny to mostly sunny.
