Today through early evening is your window for outdoor fun across the Valley. If you’re planning to hit the links, conditions at courses around Scottsdale and Tempe are excellent—low wind, clear skies, and that perfect morning-to-afternoon warmth.

For allergy sufferers, today’s calm winds and clear skies mean pollen won’t be swirling around as aggressively as it might on gustier days, though spring allergies are still in full swing. Keep an allergy relief nasal spray handy, and if you’re sensitive, a pollen count face mask can help during peak morning hours.
Tonight into Saturday: A Weather System Arrives
Here’s where things get interesting. The National Weather Service is tracking a weak Pacific disturbance that will bring breezy to windy conditions starting tonight and intensifying Saturday evening. Winds will pick up gradually through Friday night, then become noticeably gusty Saturday afternoon and evening—gusts could reach 20–25 mph in some areas, with the strongest winds likely after 6 PM Saturday.
Saturday’s high will drop to 86°F with partly sunny skies and that same gusty wind pattern. By Saturday night, expect mostly cloudy conditions with a low around 63°F. The good news: this system is dry. There’s virtually no rain expected here in Phoenix, though the high terrain north of the city might see isolated light showers.
Gameday Weather: Suns vs. Thunder
The Suns Rd 1 Hm Gm 1 vs. West Conf Qtrs: Thunder on Saturday, April 25 at Mortgage Matchup Center will be indoors, so fans won’t feel the wind. But if you’re tailgating or arriving early, dress in layers—it’ll be warm during the day (86°F) but cool down quickly after sunset. Grab Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support, and snag tickets on SeatGeek or Find tickets on StubHub to catch the playoff action.
Weekend Outlook
Sunday cools further with near-normal temperatures and continued breezy conditions. By early next week, conditions settle back to tranquil with temperatures in the mid-80s—classic Phoenix spring weather. Another weather system may impact the region late next week, but for now, enjoy today’s sunshine and prepare for Saturday’s gusty winds.
Dinner Idea
With today’s perfect weather, fire up that grill. A tri-tip or brisket on the smoker is ideal—and there’s a clever $10 hack to smoke tri-tip like brisket that works great. If you need sides and proteins, order groceries on Amazon Fresh and have everything delivered so you can spend more time outdoors.
