Phoenix, AZ – Unseasonably warm spring weather continues to grip Arizona as Phoenix temperatures climb into the 90s starting Wednesday, bringing breezy afternoons and dry, sunny skies well into the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, Phoenix will reach a high near 91°F on Wednesday with calm morning winds turning gusty by afternoon. Wind speeds may reach up to 20 mph on Friday, especially along the I-10 corridor, which may impact high-profile vehicles during peak afternoon travel. Drivers are encouraged to secure lightweight cargo and remain alert for brief visibility reductions due to blowing dust.
Thursday will see similar conditions with a high near 92°F and clear skies before winds return Friday, prompting potential fire weather concerns due to dry vegetation and gusty patterns. Temperatures will dip slightly to 86°F on Friday but rebound into the mid-80s through the weekend.
Looking ahead, Saturday and Sunday will remain mostly sunny, with highs in the mid-80s and calm evening conditions—ideal for spring outings. Overnight lows throughout the week will hover between 58°F and 65°F, offering little overnight relief from the daytime heat.
Phoenix residents should stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and limit strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat hours (2–6 p.m.). No rain is expected in the extended forecast through early next week.
This early spring heat pattern is typical for late March in Arizona, but residents should remain mindful of rapid weather changes and ongoing drought concerns.
