Phoenix, AZ – Sunshine and gradually warming temperatures will shape the coming days across Phoenix as the Valley moves from a comfortable October weekend into a noticeably warmer start to next week. Afternoon highs are expected to remain in the upper 70s through Sunday before climbing into the lower 80s Monday and reaching approximately 84 degrees Tuesday, October 27. Clear nights, generally light winds and an extended stretch of dry weather should provide favorable conditions for outdoor activities and travel throughout the metropolitan area.
According to the National Weather Service in Phoenix, Friday, October 23, will bring sunny skies and an afternoon high near 78 degrees. Calm morning winds will become westerly around 5 mph during the afternoon, while temperatures fall to approximately 60 degrees Friday night.

Sunday, October 25, marks the beginning of a gradual warming trend, with afternoon temperatures reaching approximately 79 degrees under sunny skies.
