Arizona weather forecast: Changes expected for parts of the state later this week

Evening Weather Forecast - 4/15/2025

We're expecting one more day of warmer weather this week before a big cooldown.

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

Today:

On Tuesday, Phoenix saw a high of 94°F. While that is nine degrees higher than the normal of 85°F, it is lower than the record that was set on this day back in 1962, which was 101°F.

Tomorrow:

The temperature on Wednesday is forecast to reach the low-90s in Phoenix. 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.
