MOST ACCURATE FORECAST: Winter sizzle! How long will near-record warmth continue?

The strong ridge of high pressure centered over the west coast is keeping Arizona dry, sunny, and warm through early next week.

This weekend afternoon, highs will remain in the upper 70s, keeping Valley temperatures about 10 above normal.

Temperatures are expected to gradually drop next week, moving into the low to mid 70s. That is an improvement, but still puts us about 5 degrees above normal.

Overnight temperatures will drop into the mid 40s to low 50s, so our early morning forecast is still looking nice and cool.

We’ll see passing clouds at times, but our forecast will stay dry through the weekend and into early next week.
