Arizona – The desert sky glows gold this morning as sunlight filters through thin streaks of cirrus clouds over Phoenix. The air is still and dry — perfect for post-holiday travelers, morning hikers, and early shoppers crossing town under clear blue skies.
The National Weather Service calls for a stretch of steady, mild conditions through Sunday. Highs climb into the mid to upper 70s with light afternoon breezes and calm nights dipping into the upper 40s. Saturday and Sunday look ideal for outdoor plans, from markets to golf outings, with no rain expected across the Valley.
For now, it’s classic late-fall comfort — but changes are coming as early as midweek. NOAA’s 6–10 Day Outlook shows below-normal temperatures pushing south from the Rockies into early December, signaling a pattern shift that could finally cool the desert. While Phoenix stays dry, daytime highs could drop into the 60s by next weekend as colder air spreads into the Southwest.
Residents should plan for cooler evenings next week and keep an eye on early December’s cold front, which could bring the first hints of winter across higher elevations of northern Arizona.
