Phoenix, AZ – The desert wakes to crisp, clear air under a pale gold sunrise this morning as another stretch of near-perfect winter weather unfolds. With calm winds and temperatures rising toward 78°F, the Valley will see a string of bright, steady days that feel more like early fall than mid-December.
The National Weather Service in Phoenix reports that dry air and stable high pressure will dominate through the weekend. Skies remain cloudless and calm, with morning lows near 52°F before quick daytime warming. Drivers and outdoor crews can expect clear roads, light winds, and ideal visibility — a rare luxury compared to much of the stormy nation.
Looking ahead, Sunday may be the warmest day of the week, touching 80°F, before slightly cooler highs near 78°F return next week. Early holiday shoppers, hikers, and travelers will find this a perfect stretch for outdoor plans before cooler December air begins edging south later this month.
