For outdoor enthusiasts, this is a great window before temperatures creep into the low 90s by week’s end. Hikers tackling Camelback Mountain or South Mountain Park should hit the trails early—the morning will be cooler and less crowded. Bring plenty of water and consider a hydration running vest if you’re planning a longer workout. Allergy sufferers may want to stay alert; spring pollen levels can spike on calm, sunny days like today. A HEPA air purifier at home will help you recover indoors after outdoor time.
Golfers, this is your sweet spot. Temperatures in the upper 80s are nearly perfect for 18 holes without the brutal heat. Check out our guide on Best Golf Rangefinders Under $300 — Tested and Ranked (2026) to dial in your distances.
Tonight, expect partly cloudy skies with a low around 62°F—comfortable sleeping weather if you’ve got the windows open. Wednesday night brings mostly cloudy conditions and a low near 66°F, so nothing to worry about weather-wise for outdoor evening events.
Thursday looks nearly identical: mostly sunny, high near 90°F, light winds. Perfect for grilling or tailgating if you’re planning a backyard gathering. A portable propane grill is ideal for mid-week entertaining without firing up your full outdoor kitchen.
For dinner tonight, take advantage of the pleasant evening by grilling something simple—burgers, chicken, or veggies on the grill pair perfectly with this weather. If you’d rather stay in, a light pasta or stir-fry works just as well. Need ingredients? You can order groceries on Amazon and have everything for tonight’s dinner delivered to your door.
Looking ahead: Thursday night stays mostly clear with a low around 65°F. Friday and the weekend trend slightly warmer but remain dry. No rain in the forecast through at least Friday, so outdoor plans are solid. By next week, watch for temperatures climbing toward the mid-90s as we head deeper into May—enjoy these comfortable spring days while they last!
Local events: Don’t miss the Dancing With The Stars: Live! - 2026 Tour at Arizona Financial Theatre tonight, or catch Snail Mail at The Van Buren Thursday night. Get tickets on SeatGeek for either show.
