Arizona weather forecast: Another day of 90-degree temps in Phoenix

5 p.m. Weather Forecast - 3/26/2025

Temperatures will hover in the mid-to-low 90s on Thursday with a cooldown on the way.

PHOENIX - After record-setting conditions on Monday and Tuesday, temperatures will remain warm but below record levels on Wednesday afternoon.

What To Expect:

The high temperature reached 96 degrees on Monday and 99 degrees on Tuesday. Both days set new records for heat, running way above the average of 81 degrees.

Starting Wednesday, the weather pattern starts to shift to a more mild pattern as the strong ridge of high pressure starts to weaken and slip to the southeast. At the same time, a large system will swirl over the Pacific Northwest and help usher cooler air in our direction (especially by this weekend).

Wednesday skies will be partly to mostly cloudy. In northern Arizona, an isolated shower or sprinkle is possible during the afternoon. However, the state should generally remain dry.

High temperatures will slowly drop the rest of the week. Highs in the low 90s are expected on Wednesday and Thursday. By Friday, the forecast high caps in the upper 80s and by the weekend high temperatures will only hit the low to middle 80s – making for perfect outdoor-plans weather!

Winds will increase Thursday into Friday through Saturday, with windy conditions expected in northern Arizona. Gusts of 20-25 mph are forecast Friday and Saturday in Phoenix. Gusts of 30-40+ mph are likely in northern Arizona during the same timeframe.
