Arizona is set for a week of changing weather, starting with sunny, warm days before a weekend cooldown sweeps through. With comfortable temperatures early in the week, it’s a great time to enjoy the outdoors, but don’t put away your jackets just yet.
Phoenix: Sunshine Before a Cooldown
Phoenix residents can expect beautiful weather midweek, with highs reaching 73°F to 74°F on Wednesday and Thursday. It’s the perfect chance to soak up some sun. By the weekend, cooler air will move in, dropping daytime highs to the mid-60s. Nights will turn brisk, with temperatures falling to the mid-30s by next week.
Tucson: Warm Start, Chilly Finish
Tucson will enjoy similar conditions, with warm, sunny days midweek and highs peaking at 74°F on Thursday. Cooler air will settle in by Friday, bringing temperatures down to the low 60s over the weekend. Nights will be noticeably colder, dipping into the 30s, and by Tuesday, Tucson will see daytime highs only reaching 55°F.
Flagstaff: Breezy and Cold by Next Week
In Flagstaff, it’s all about layering up. While Wednesday and Thursday will bring sunny skies and highs around 42°F to 52°F, colder air arrives by the weekend. Expect highs to drop into the mid-30s, with frigid nights in the single digits early next week. Breezy afternoons will make it feel even colder, so keep your winter gear handy.
Yuma: A Week of Sunshine
Yuma is looking forward to a comfortable and sunny week ahead. Highs will stay in the low 70s through Friday, with slight cooling over the weekend as temperatures dip to the upper 60s. Nights will be cool but manageable, with lows in the low 40s.
What’s Ahead for Arizona
This week starts with clear skies and mild weather, but by Friday, a weak storm system will bring a noticeable drop in temperatures. Cooler air will continue to push into the state through early next week, bringing freezing temperatures to northern areas and cooler-than-usual conditions statewide.
