Morning Weather Forecast - 6/19/26
Happy Friday! Highs in the Valley will cool down slightly today and through the weekend before a big warm-up happens next week.
PHOENIX - Following several days of heat and humidity, our temperatures will start to fall along with our moisture levels. This change makes for a nicer forecast this Father's Day weekend.
Today and the Weekend:
Expect a high temperature of around 107 degrees on Friday. It will remain sunny and dry with winds picking up a bit in the afternoon. Aside from the breezy conditions, the weather is generally calm around the state. There's a chance for an isolated shower this afternoon in far eastern Arizona. The rest of Arizona remains dry through the weekend.
In Phoenix, the forecast high slumps to 105 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. This Father's Day will begin with a lovely low temperature around 79 degrees. The more mild temperatures are due to a favorable wind flow from the direct west. This flow, known as a zonal flow, helps to transport somewhat more mild and dry air to the state.
Looking Further Ahead:
By next week, high pressure begins to build back up over Arizona. By midweek, the dome will start to strengthen. This will push our forecast highs up to 110 degrees beginning Tuesday and near 115 by late week. It will remain dry in the Valley, but there will be a small increase in humidity by late week and the heightened moisture levels could bring a few showers to the High Country late week.
