Winds to subside, temps to rise in Phoenix area; rain possible
The Phoenix area will get a reprieve from below-average temperatures this week as the weather warms but could see some showers heading into early next week.
After freeze warnings and 30-degree temperatures earlier in the week, temperatures are warming closer to normal for this time of the year.
The high temperatures through the weekend will be in the mid to upper 60s, with low temperatures in the low 40s and upper 30s in the evenings.
“We’ll get nice weather for the next several days,” said Mark O’Malley, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service office in Phoenix. “The temperatures are pretty much near the seasonal average for the end of January.”
Although the Valley had wind gusts as high as 20 mph on Thursday, winds will die down over the next several days.
Sunday brings rain chances that will continue into early next week, potentially breaking a 154-day dry spell in Phoenix without measurable rain as of Jan. 23. This is the second-longest dry streak on record, with the longest set in 1972 with 160 days.
“A low-pressure system will be moving through the area during the middle of next week, and that will bring a 40% chance of some light rain showers into the Phoenix metropolitan area,” O’Malley said.
The best rain chances will be Monday and Tuesday with some light showers across the region.
