Evening Weather Forecast - 3/2/26

Monday was another record-warm day in the Valley. While it remains hot throughout the state, FOX 10's Erica Horvatin has more on when we can expect slight temperature drops this week.

PHOENIX - The record heat continued to impact our state today, before things begin to cool down later this week.

Monday:

Monday was day four of a record heat streak in the Valley. With a high temperature of 93 degrees and a low of 64 degrees, the Phoenix area broke a record high and a record warm low. This comes after Phoenix broke a record high on Sunday, and record highs and lows on Saturday and Friday.

Tonight will cool to 61 degrees in the Valley, under mostly clear skies.

Tuesday:

Luckily, temperatures will fall back into the 80s on Tuesday, and we could even see 70s by later in the work week.

It will be sunny with a high of 86 degrees. There will be a lunar eclipse on Tuesday morning, and you will be able to see the full eclipse from 4:04 a.m. to 5:03 a.m.

Later This Week:

Wednesday will be similar with highs in the mid-80s. The next storm will move into the Southwest on Thursday, bringing even cooler temperatures in the mid-upper 70s, and breezy to gusty winds across Arizona.

A few isolated showers, rain or snow, are possible in the High Country by this weekend thanks to the pattern shift and winds will increase Thursday. In fact, much of the state will be breezy to windy on Thursday thanks to this shift.

A passing trough to our north helps bring slightly more mild air, accompanied by the departing ridge of high pressure from our south. A secondary trough will drop into Arizona Thursday into Friday.

Temperatures will warm back into the low 80s this weekend with mostly to partly sunny skies.
