Good news, Phoenix! If you’ve been feeling like summer is creeping in too soon, you’re in for a nice little break this weekend. A cold front is sliding through, bringing cooler temperatures and breezy conditions, making it the perfect time to get outside before the heat cranks back up next week.
Let’s break it down so you know what to expect.
FRIDAY: Windy with a Slight Cool-Down
Friday kicks off the weekend with plenty of sunshine and a noticeable breeze. Temps will be a little lower than usual, but the real story is the gusty winds—expect them to hit 15-25 mph at times. If you’re heading out, you might want to hold onto your hat!
High: 85°F (29°C) | Low: 59°F (15°C)
Winds: 10-15 mph, gusts up to 25 mph
Fire Danger: High—dry air and wind aren’t a great mix
Heads Up:
-
If you’re driving, watch out for dust storms in open desert areas.
-
Fire risk is up, so be extra careful with grills, campfires, and cigarettes.
-
If you’re biking or hiking, expect strong headwinds—so maybe pick a less exposed trail.
SATURDAY: The Perfect Spring Day!
Saturday is shaping up to be one of those classic, beautiful Phoenix days—warm, sunny, and not too hot. Whether you’re planning a hike, brunch, or just chilling on the patio, it’s the best day to be outside.
High: 82°F (28°C) | Low: 60°F (16°C)
Skies: Partly sunny
Breeze: Lighter than Friday—just enough to feel nice
Saturday Game Plan:
Hit the hiking trails early before the sun really kicks in.
Outdoor brunch? Yes, please! Find a nice patio and enjoy the cool-ish morning.
Spring training baseball? Perfect weather to catch a game!
SUNDAY: Slightly Warmer, But Still Comfortable
Sunday stays mild and pleasant, with a bit more cloud cover drifting in. Temps nudge up just a little, but nothing extreme. It’s another great day to be outside before next week’s heat wave starts creeping in.
High: 83°F (28°C) | Low: 57°F (14°C)
Skies: Partly cloudy
UV Index: High—sunscreen is still a must!
