Arizona weather forecast: Highs in the 90s despite cloud cover in Phoenix

Evening Weather Forecast - 4/14/2025

We could see some wet weather in parts of Arizona this week.

PHOENIX - Following a week of triple digits and dry weather, we are expecting changes this week.

Today:

NWS officials said despite cloud cover they described as "abundant," high reached the upper 80s and lower 90s across the lower Arizona desert.

In Phoenix, a high of 93°F was recorded. While it fell short of the 103°F record that was set 90 years ago in 1925, it was warmer than the normal temperature of 85°F.

Tomorrow and Wednesday:

A weak disturbance will push moisture across the state Monday into Tuesday. Additional clouds and a few isolated showers are expected during the afternoon, night and Tuesday morning.

In the Valley, the chance is only around 10-20% with a slightly better chance of spotty showers in northern Arizona. Winds will increase, too, with gusts of 20-30 mph around the state.

Both Tuesday and Wednesday are forecast to hit 93 degrees in Phoenix. Mostly sunny conditions return beginning Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday. Gusts will increase by Wednesday, with peak gusts nearing 40 mph in the High Country.

Later This Week:

A system will move inland off the Pacific on Thursday. At the same time, a trough and associated system will drop across the U.S. from the north. As the two systems merge over Arizona, winds will increase, temperatures cool down, and rain chances will return.

Scattered rain showers are forecast across the state on Friday, but the exact location of the best chances will be determined by the center of the storm. As the systems develop in the coming days, we'll fine tune the precise timing and impacts. It looks likely everyone will experience a drop in temperatures with highs in the low 80s in Phoenix on Thursday, and the mid to upper 70s on Friday and Saturday. It will still be gusty, too.

This Weekend:

Shower chances may linger into Saturday, but should exit in time for Easter Sunday. The weather looks perfect! Highs in the low 80s are currently forecast for Sunday in the Valley with 60s in the High Country.
