Phoenix, AZ – A mild brush of rain may be the only interruption to an otherwise warm and sunny spring stretch across Arizona.
Light sprinkles are possible in Phoenix Friday afternoon, but any showers will be brief, with sunny skies dominating the weekend forecast. Residents should expect temperatures to climb steadily, topping out near 95°F by Wednesday, making hydration and sun protection essential for those outdoors. Drivers along I-10 should take caution midday Friday as isolated sprinkles could cause brief slick spots.
According to the National Weather Service, the rain chance Friday remains slight, with winds shifting northwest by evening. Highs will hover near 73°F Friday before rebounding into the upper 70s and low 80s by Sunday. Overnight lows stay comfortable, mainly in the 50s.
Saturday and Sunday look ideal for spring outdoor activities, including hiking and local events, with clear skies and light winds. Monday and Tuesday push toward summer-like heat, with highs reaching 91°F and 95°F respectively.
Arizonans should use this weekend to prep for rising heat. Early hydration, avoiding peak sun hours, and wearing light clothing can reduce heat stress. Pets and children should never be left in vehicles, even briefly.
This spring preview reminds Phoenix residents that summer’s intensity isn’t far behind. Stay weather-aware and plan accordingly as temperatures rise sharply early next week.
