PHOENIX — The weather forecast over the next several days more resembles what we would expect in November as high temperatures across the lower deserts will hover around 80 degrees, making it record worthy!
An unseasonably strong high-pressure system is currently building across our region from the southwest and it will dominate our weather conditions through the coming weekend.
Today will bring sunny skies and much warmer conditions, especially across south-central Arizona with highs just above 80 degrees. These record high temperatures for Phoenix should persist through Friday, despite some high clouds moving back into the area.
Temperatures across the rest of the lower deserts are expected to mainly reach into the 76-79 degree range through Friday.
A system will be pushing through around Christmas, bringing chances for rain and snow to the higher elevations!
