Morning Weather Forecast - 5/14/26
Triple digits are in the Valley's forecast for Thursday, as our high will top out near 100 degrees.
PHOENIX - Warm conditions persist to end the work week and last into the weekend.
What to Expect:
Although the ridge of high pressure that pushed us to nearly 110 degrees a few days ago has since shifted eastward, we're not seeing a major drop in temperatures. We are currently located between the passing ridge to our east, and a new ridge to the west, which is currently building over the Pacific. As a result, our forecast high has slipped to around 100 degrees and will remain there through Saturday. The forecast high is 100 in Phoenix on Thursday, 99 on Friday, and 100 on Saturday. Each day will be sunny with some low-end breezy conditions.
By Sunday, a trough of much more mild air starts to drop down across the Mountain West portions of the United States. This low pressure system will sit just to the north of Arizona. While we don't see rain chances out of the system, we will see the stronger winds wrapping around the storm as well as cooler air.
Looking Ahead:
The forecast high drops to 96 on Sunday, 94 on Monday and remains near 96 on Tuesday in the Valley. Winds will increase to around 15-20 mph in Phoenix on Saturday and 20-25 mph on Sunday. For the High Country, the winds will increase to gusts around 30-40 mph over the weekend.
Next week, along with the mild start, it will remain dry and sunny to mostly sunny. The forecast high gradually climbs back to around 100 late next week.
