Phoenix weather today brings sunny skies and a high near 94°F with light southeast winds of 0 to 5 mph—ideal conditions for getting outside and enjoying our beautiful spring weather.
It’s going to be a gorgeous Monday across the Valley, with temperatures running about 5 to 10 degrees above normal for late April. The National Weather Service is tracking upper-level ridging building over the Desert Southwest, which means we’ll stay dry and sunny through at least Tuesday. If you’ve been itching to dust off the grill, today is the day. Fire up those burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob—the light winds mean smoke won’t be an issue, and you’ll have plenty of daylight to cook.
Golfers should absolutely get out to courses around Scottsdale, Tempe, or south Phoenix this afternoon. The low wind speeds and clear skies make for perfect playing conditions. Just remember to bring plenty of water and sunscreen—even at 94°F, the desert sun is intense and can sneak up on you fast.
If you’re planning to head to Chase Field for the Diamondbacks’ game against the Chicago White Sox on Wednesday, you’re in luck: gameday weather will be pleasant for tailgating with temperatures in the mid-90s and mostly clear skies. Set up some patio furniture or a hammock with stand in your backyard today, and you’ll have the perfect outdoor setup ready for the week ahead. Consider adding some outdoor string lights or a portable Bluetooth speaker to really make your space shine.
Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies with a low around 69°F—perfect sleeping weather if you crack open a window. The gentle east-northeast breeze won’t kick up any dust.
Tuesday looks nearly identical: sunny, a high near 95°F, and light south winds. By Tuesday night, though, a weather system will start moving in from the west, bringing slightly cooler temperatures and gustier winds (20-25 mph gusts possible by late evening). That system will really make its presence felt by Wednesday and beyond, so enjoy these calm, warm days while they last.
Tonight’s Dinner: Perfect grilling weather calls for a classic backyard feast. Fire up the grill for burgers, steaks, or grilled chicken with corn on the cob. You’ll want an instant-read meat thermometer and a quality grill brush to keep things running smoothly. Did you know you can order groceries on Amazon Fresh? Get everything you need for tonight’s dinner delivered straight to your door.
Looking Ahead: Enjoy the next two days of sunshine and warmth. By midweek, cooler temperatures and breezy conditions arrive as a passing weather system moves through. Check back for updates on any potential showers in the higher terrain areas—the Mogollon Rim and White Mountains may see a few scattered showers, but the Phoenix metro area should stay dry.
