Evening Weather Forecast - 2/4/26

We're expecting temps in the 80s for the rest of the week. Next week, however, should be a different story.

PHOENIX - It was a warm Wednesday with sunshine and near record-breaking heat.

Today:

Phoenix hit a high of 85 degrees, which is one degree short of breaking our 2025 record of 86 degrees. The average sits at 69 degrees, making today's high 16 degrees above normal.

Tonight will be mild with an overnight low at around 59 degrees.

Looking Ahead:

Clouds will begin to increase on Thursday along with winds in the Valley. Wind gusts will be around 20 to 30 mph. A passing low pressure system will bring a chance for some light rain along western and northern Arizona. This could also result in some sprinkles in the Valley along with temperatures dropping into the low 80s.

The chance will continue across northern Arizona for spotty and light showers Friday and Saturday. By Saturday, the chance for isolated showers shifts into Eastern Arizona, too. The Valley will likely remain dry through this period.

Temperatures will begin to drop even more next week with the arrival of another system that could bring some rain chances and snow in the high country. It will be "cooler" with highs in the low 70s.

Big picture view:

As the weak area of low pressure swirls past our state, it should help break the pattern that has locked us in sunny and dry conditions. This may bring additional rain chances, and possibly high elevation snow chances, to parts of Arizona into next week. For now, Phoenix has just a 10-20% chance of showers by mid-next week. Temperatures are currently forecast to fall back to the 70s next week, too.
