Arizona skies glow under a mild, cloudy start in Phoenix this morning, with temperatures already sitting near 65 degrees. The desert air feels calm and comfortable, a sharp contrast to winter chill gripping parts of the Midwest. Streetlights flicker off as low clouds drift overhead.
Today turns warm quickly. Highs climb to around 79 degrees by afternoon under mostly cloudy skies. Winds stay light, making for smooth travel across Loop 101 and I-10. This is a classic February spring tease in the Valley.
Clouds thin slightly tonight as temperatures fall to near 54 degrees. Thursday keeps the warmth in place with another high near 79 and a mix of sun and clouds.
Changes arrive Friday. A 40 percent chance of showers develops during the day as a weak system moves through Arizona. Highs dip to around 70 degrees. While rainfall totals look light, brief wet roads could impact the afternoon commute. Plan extra time if showers develop near rush hour.
Valentine’s Weekend trends drier again. Saturday brings sunshine and a high near 75. Sunday rebounds to near 78 under partly sunny skies. Evenings remain cool, with lows in the lower to mid-50s.
Early next week stays mild but unsettled at times. Another round of showers becomes possible by Monday night into Tuesday, with highs in the low 70s. Longer-range signals continue to show above-normal temperatures dominating much of the Southwest over the next 6–10 days.
