Phoenix weather Saturday is shaping up to be partly sunny with a high near 85°F and light winds of 0 to 10 mph from the south—a welcome break from yesterday’s upper 80s and lower 90s.
A weak weather system moving through the region this weekend will keep temperatures near normal through Sunday, then warm considerably early next week. The National Weather Service notes that a developing shortwave trough is pushing moisture and clouds into our area, but the good news is that widespread rainfall isn’t expected. Any light showers will stay confined to the higher terrain of northern Arizona, so Phoenix and the metro area will remain dry.
This is excellent weather for outdoor activities. Golf enthusiasts should take advantage—Saturday morning tee times at Papago Golf Course or Paradise Valley Country Club will be pleasant, with mild temps and manageable wind. If you’re heading out, grab a pair of Adidas Samba Spikeless Golf Shoes Just $42 With Coupon for comfort on the course.
Fishing windows are also favorable. The light winds and partly sunny skies make Saturday a solid day for hitting Tempe Town Lake or heading north to cooler elevations. Pack a Yeti rambler water bottle to stay hydrated in the desert sun.
Tonight’s events: The Suns take on the Thunder in Round 1, Home Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals at Mortgage Matchup Center tonight. Gameday conditions will be pleasant—expect that 85°F high and low winds, perfect for tailgating before tip-off. Grab Official team gear on Fanatics to show your support, and snag Find tickets on StubHub if you’re still looking for a seat.
Monster Jam is also happening at State Farm Stadium tonight—another indoor event, so weather won’t be a factor.
Sunday looks even nicer: sunny skies, a high near 79°F, and southwest winds 5 to 15 mph with gusts to 20 mph. It’ll be breezy, so secure any loose patio furniture or outdoor string lights you have set up.
Perfect grilling weather today. Fire up the grill for burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob. An instant-read meat thermometer and grill brush and scraper set will help you nail perfect results every time. Need fresh ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Next week brings warming temperatures, with highs climbing into the low to mid 90s by midweek. A potential weather system late next week could bring isolated shower chances, but nothing significant is expected. Enjoy this pleasant stretch while it lasts—summer heat is coming.
