Arizona – Early sunlight spills across the Valley this morning, already hinting at a warm February day that feels more like March. The air stays calm and dry, and temperatures rise quickly once the sun clears the horizon.

According to the National Weather Service in Phoenix, highs climb near 79 degrees this afternoon under clear skies. Winds remain light, making outdoor plans easy and travel conditions smooth across I-10, Loop 202, and surface streets. No weather hazards are expected, but the warmth may catch some residents off guard after cooler mornings.

Tonight stays mild, with temperatures only dropping into the low 50s. Skies remain mostly clear, allowing another fast warmup Tuesday. By Tuesday afternoon, Phoenix reaches the low 80s, continuing a steady warming trend across central Arizona.

Midweek brings the peak of this stretch. Wednesday pushes highs into the mid-80s, well above early February averages. Dry air and sunshine dominate, though light northeast breezes develop late in the day. Hydration becomes important during afternoon hours, especially for those working outdoors or exercising.

Thursday stays warm but slightly cooler, with highs near 79. Gusty breezes may develop at times, though impacts remain limited. Nights remain comfortable, with lows holding in the mid-50s across the metro.

Friday continues the quiet pattern. Sunshine returns with highs again near 80, closing out a week with no rain, no storms, and minimal travel concerns. Longer-range signals suggest above-normal temperatures persist into the Feb 6–8 weekend, offering more springlike afternoons across the Valley.

Residents should plan for large temperature swings between morning and afternoon and take advantage of the dry stretch. How warm did it feel outside by lunchtime where you live?
