Morning Weather Forecast - 4/28/26
We're warming up across Arizona! On Tuesday in the Valley, the high temperature will reach the upper-80s.
PHOENIX - Our cooler-than-average weather is coming to an end.
What to Expect This Week:
The forecast calls for gradual warming this week. After a high temperature in the 70s on Sunday and low 80s on Monday, Tuesday will bring a return of the upper 80s to Phoenix. The forecast high hits 87 on Tuesday, 89 on Wednesday and 87 on Thursday. By Friday, the forecast high touches 90 degrees.
Over the next few days, some passing high clouds are forecast for the southern half of Arizona. The clouds will not bring any showers or storms, and it will still be, at minimum, partly sunny.
By Thursday, a storm system will approach Arizona from the southwest. The storm will skirt past the southern edge of the state Thursday evening through early Friday morning. This brings enough moisture for scattered shower chances during this time period. The best chance for showers will pick up over southern, eastern, and northeastern Arizona. Lingering into Friday afternoon, a few showers or a spot storm may fire off over the higher elevations thanks, in part, to the elevation.
In Phoenix, there will be an isolated 10% chance for showers on Thursday afternoon. It may pick up to a 20% chance in the far east Valley by Thursday night into early Friday morning.
This Weekend:
Quickly the area dries out over the weekend and begins to warm up. The forecast high climbs to 95 on Saturday and 97 on Sunday. It will be mostly to partly sunny over the weekend.
Looking Ahead:
Next week the temperature slips back to the mid-upper 80s by mid-week.
