Arizona weather forecast: It's been a warm and windy Mother's Day weekend

5 p.m. Weather Forecast - 5/12/24

It's been a windy and warm weekend in Phoenix!

PHOENIX - Dry, breezy and warm is the theme for the week ahead.

Mother's Day may be best spent indoors, or around a pool as afternoon highs warm into the middle 90s in the Valley. It will be sunny with gusts around 15-20 mph in Phoenix.

The high temperature climbs to near 100 by Monday. Again, it will be sunny and dry in Phoenix. Gusts around 20 mph are expected.

While the winds will be up all week in the Valley, they will be coupled with spotty shower chances in Northern and Eastern Arizona. Flagstaff will see around 20-30% rain chances between Sunday and Wednesday. Most days, these chances are fairly isolated in coverage and would appear in the afternoon or evening.

By Tuesday into Wednesday and Thursday, the forecast high temperatures take a small dip thanks to a system spinning nearby that brings additional winds, clouds and rain chances to the High Country. In Phoenix, highs in the upper 90s are likely.

We return to 100 degrees beginning Friday and likely through next weekend. Again, it will be sunny and dry in the Valley.

The persistent breezy conditions won't help with fire-fighting efforts around Arizona. Unfortunately, there is an elevated risk for fires to spark throughout the month of May, especially in central and southeastern Arizona.
