Phoenix, Arizona – Morning temperatures across central and southwest Arizona stayed well above seasonal averages Friday, keeping early commutes milder than typical for mid-February.
According to the US National Weather Service Phoenix, overnight lows ranged from 57 to 61 degrees across the metro area and surrounding communities. Phoenix Sky Harbor recorded 61 degrees, while Scottsdale dropped to 58 degrees and Deer Valley to 59 degrees. Goodyear and Casa Grande each reached 57 degrees by early morning.
Farther south and west, Gila Bend reported 58 degrees, while Yuma and Blythe both recorded 60 degrees. El Centro saw a morning low of 58 degrees.
Cloud cover will remain in place throughout Friday, with afternoon highs expected to reach the lower to middle 70s across much of the region. While a few light showers may pass through parts of central Arizona, forecasters emphasize that most locations are not expected to receive measurable rainfall.
The lack of precipitation means no roadway flooding or travel disruptions are anticipated along major corridors including Interstate 10, Loop 101, Loop 202, or Interstate 8.
For students, early commuters, and outdoor workers, the warmer-than-normal start may reduce the need for heavier layers, though cloudy skies will limit sunshine through the day.
The National Weather Service has not issued any watches or warnings at this time. Conditions are expected to remain stable heading into the evening.
