PHOENIX, Ariz. – The desert sky glows pale orange before sunrise, the air cool but soft—perfect running weather before another sun-filled November day. Arizona’s signature fall warmth isn’t going anywhere just yet. In fact, this weekend could bring the last true stretch of upper-80s temperatures before a modest cooldown moves through early next week.
The National Weather Service in Phoenix calls for calm, dry conditions from the Valley to the foothills, with highs near 85°F through Saturday and 89°F possible by Sunday afternoon. Winds will stay light—ideal for local travel, outdoor markets, and early holiday setup around the city. Skies remain cloudless, giving Arizona its trademark November glow from dawn to dusk.
By Monday, however, subtle changes arrive. A gentle east wind will shift cooler air across the desert, trimming daytime highs to the mid-80s and dropping overnight lows near 59°F. It’s not a cold snap—at least not yet—but residents will notice a slight dip by midweek as high pressure weakens.
For travelers, I-10 and Route 60 should see smooth conditions all weekend. Clear skies and calm winds make for excellent driving visibility from Tucson northward through the Valley. For early holiday decorators or festival-goers, Sunday looks nearly perfect with dry air and just a hint of desert breeze.
Veterans Day on Tuesday continues the stretch of postcard weather—mostly sunny skies, mid-80s warmth, and comfortable evenings. It’s a quintessential Arizona November: sun by day, cool air by night, and no sign of winter’s bite—yet.
