Phoenix, AZ – Under a clear, starry desert sky this morning, Phoenix wakes to a string of late-fall warmth more fitting for September than November. The Valley’s calm pattern continues through the week, with dry air and sunshine locked in before a minor cooldown arrives this weekend.

According to the National Weather Service in Phoenix, today will be partly sunny before skies clear completely, with highs pushing near 89°F by the afternoon. Wednesday and Thursday stay nearly identical — bright, calm, and warm, with afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s. Winds will remain light, generally below 5 mph, offering ideal conditions for travel, outdoor work, and early holiday decorating.

By Friday, subtle changes begin as high pressure weakens and a cooler air mass slides in from the west. Daytime highs will ease into the mid-80s by Saturday, with lows dipping to around 59°F. The dry streak will hold through Veterans Day weekend, keeping skies crystal clear for parades, hiking, or late-season pool weather.

While no rain or wind hazards are expected, the prolonged warmth is unseasonable for early November — a reminder that Arizona’s true fall still lingers just out of reach. By midmonth, models hint at cooler desert nights and possible gustier winds, signaling the long-awaited turn toward winter’s edge.

For now, enjoy the easy stretch — the desert sun still has a few warm days left to give.
