80s Vibes Make a Comeback This Weekend!

PHOENIX — A reprieve from the unusually warm March weather is set for the Valley, with temperatures expected to reach the low 80s on Friday. Wind gusts may also pick up, reaching speeds of 20 mph in the afternoon.

Higher elevations might experience brief sprinkles later in the day. Nonetheless, much of the forecast remains dry, providing a welcome change for the Valley. As the weekend progresses, temperatures are projected to stay in the low 80s.

Expect breezy conditions throughout the weekend and into early next week. The high country will experience persistent windiness, but Flagstaff may catch a light shower on Friday. Unfortunately, the statewide drought remains a concern, with no significant relief anticipated until next month.

The seven-day forecast includes the following:

• FRIDAY: 85/60 Breezy in the afternoon
• SATURDAY: 82/59 Sunny & seasonable
• SUNDAY: 83/60 A few clouds, breezy at times
• MONDAY: 86/63 Mainly sunny
