Arizona weather forecast: Hot day expected for Phoenix
Morning Weather Forecast - 6/5/26
Let's not mince words: it's going to be pretty hot in Phoenix today. FOX 10's Krystal Ortiz has your forecast.
PHOENIX - Toasty temperatures continue this Friday.
Next week, the temperature will begin in the 100-105 range Monday afternoon but will gradually climb during the week. By late next week, we may approach 110 degrees in the Valley.
Today:
The afternoon high temperature hit 108 Thursday afternoon. Friday will run very similar to Thursday with a high of 107 degrees in Phoenix.
Winds will pick up in the afternoon with gusts around 20-30 mph in Phoenix. Gusts will also strengthen in the High Country.
Sky conditions vary around Arizona. In the Valley and much of the state, it will be a sunny to mostly sunny sky with dry weather. For the far eastern edge of Arizona, however, there will be a few passing showers this afternoon. It may turn windier in that area.
This Weekend:
This weekend the forecast high slips a touch. Temperatures drop to 106 on Saturday and 104 on Sunday. Both days it will again be breezy to windy across the state with gusts around 20-30 mph in Phoenix on Saturday, 15-20 on Sunday.
With the continued breezy forecast this weekend, combined with the dry and hot weather, there is an elevated to critical risk for fire development. In fact, a red flag warning and fire weather watches are in effect over the weekend for much of the state, including Maricopa County.
