Phoenix’s Warm, Dry Stretch to Persist Through Weekend

A persistent ridge over the West is keeping the Valley dry with temperatures roughly 8 to 12 degrees above normal.

Overview

  • Weekend highs stay in the mid to upper 70s across the Valley, with mornings in the upper 40s to low 50s.
  • Forecasters expect dry weather through the weekend and into early next week under the strong high-pressure ridge.
  • Temperatures gradually ease into the low to mid 70s next week, remaining several degrees above mid-January norms.
  • A developing closed low off the West Coast could approach late next week and introduce a chance for cooler, wetter conditions, though confidence is low.
  • Phoenix reached 81 degrees on Jan. 14, tying the daily record, as the broader warm spell continued.
