Phoenix Reaches 91 as Slight Late-Week Cooldown Nears

A high-pressure ridge is driving the warmth, with a slight late-week ease expected.

Overview

  • Phoenix reached 91°F Tuesday, a level forecasters say could be the year’s final 90-degree reading.
  • Highs ease to the upper 80s Wednesday and the mid-80s Thursday and Friday as the ridge weakens and shifts east.
  • Dry conditions persist with mostly sunny skies and only passing clouds, and winds remain generally light.
  • Overnight temperatures stay comfortable in the Valley, holding in the upper 50s to low 60s.
  • Forecasters are watching a possible pattern change next week that could bring cooler air and some rain chances by midweek; Sky Harbor’s year-to-date rainfall is 7.49 inches, slightly above average.
