Morning Weather Forecast - 2/25/26

Our warming trend continues on Wednesday in the Valley as we'll see a high near 87 degrees.

PHOENIX - High pressure continues to dominate our forecast this week.

This Week:

The temperature will continue to climb warmer and warmer over the next several days, as our weather pattern refuses to budge. The forecast high will climb to 87 degrees in Phoenix on Wednesday. It will remain mostly sunny in the Valley, and partly sunny in the High Country. In fact, partly cloudy conditions will persist moving forward over the north edge of the state.

The storm track, which helps guide systems through our country, will remain to the north through the rest of the week and this weekend. This allows some clouds to pass over, but keeps any moisture out. Instead, we'll see consistently mostly to partly sunny skies with no shot at rain or snow.

The forecast high reaches 90 on Thursday in Phoenix. This will be the first time this year we reach the 90s, and run about a month earlier than average for 90-degree weather.

This Weekend:

The forecast is expected to reach around 93 degrees Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Valley. This stretch will set records for warmth in Phoenix and around the state several days in a row. In addition, we are set to end February with the most 80+ degree days in winter, as well as the warmest average temperature for winter in Phoenix.

Looking Further Ahead:

Next week, the forecast high will slip back into the 80s. This will still be above average, but no longer in record territory.
