Warmer days are ahead for the Valley! On Wednesday, we'll see a high near 90 degrees.
PHOENIX - Fairly average weather continues for the next several days, as we end April.
This Week:
The forecast high for Wednesday afternoon reaches 90 degrees in Phoenix. It will remain partly to mostly sunny, as some high cloud coverage runs over the southern half of Arizona. While Wednesday will remain dry, Thursday could bring showers to parts of the state.
An area of low pressure will skirt Arizona Thursday late day into the night. As it passes, a few scattered rain showers or a stray storm will be possible. The best chance for showers will be along southern Arizona and into southeastern Arizona. The Valley will see just a 10% chance of a passing shower over the east/southeast Valley. Pinal County and Gila County will have a better chance of a few showers.
The low departs quickly by Friday morning, but the backside rotation of the storm may help trigger a few more showers or a spot thunderstorm Friday afternoon over the High Country mountains and eastern Arizona. The Valley returns to full sunshine by Friday.
Temperatures remain near normal for the next few days as the system passes. The high sits at 90 on Thursday and 92 on Friday.
This Weekend:
A small ridge will build and push our forecast highs into the mid 90s to upper 90s.
Looking Ahead:
Next week, another approaching system will slide our forecast highs down to slightly below normal in the 80s in Phoenix.
