It’s Friday: Falling in Love with the Perfect Weather!

PHOENIX — The Phoenix area is on track to experience a warming trend due to high-pressure systems that will persist into next week. Dry conditions are expected, with temperatures climbing significantly as we approach the weekend.

The peak of this high-pressure system is anticipated by early next week, pushing afternoon highs into the upper 90s across the lower deserts. This could lead to daily temperature records being challenged in several locations.

Historically speaking, highs in the low 80s are common for this time of year, yet the forecast suggests we may approach the record of 100 degrees previously set on March 26, 1988. While temperatures may come close, it appears they will likely fall just short of entering triple-digit territory.

Here’s a detailed seven-day forecast for the region:

FRIDAY: 84/57 – Sunny & warmer

SATURDAY: 88/60 – Scattered clouds

SUNDAY: 87/62 – Mostly sunny & warm

MONDAY: 94/65 – The 90s return! (Record: 94 from 1990)

TUESDAY: 98/68 – (Record: 96 from 2022)

WEDNESDAY: 95/67 – Sunny & hot (Record: 100 from 1988)

THURSDAY: 94/65 – Staying hot (Record: 98 from 1986)
