Arizona weather forecast: Phoenix sees relief as temperatures drop
The Brief Temperatures in Phoenix are dropping, with Sunday expected to be one of the coolest days this week with a high of 101°. The extreme heat warning for the week has expired as a low-pressure system brings cooler conditions. A gradual warm-up is expected next week, with temperatures projected to return to around 110° PHOENIX - Phoenix is experiencing a reprieve from the recent extreme heat, with temperatures starting the weekend much cooler. On Friday, the high in Phoenix was 106 degrees, which is average for this time of year. However, Saturday evening saw temperatures around 95 degrees with winds dying down. Overnight temperatures are expected to drop into the upper 70s in the Valley, and even lower up north, with Flagstaff at 67 degrees and Sedona at 77 degrees. Sunday is forecast to be one of the coolest days of the week, with a high of 101 degrees in Phoenix. This marks a significant drop from the 117 degrees experienced earlier in the week, as the extreme heat warning has now expired. Other areas will also see cooler temperatures, including Flagstaff at 75 degrees and Show Low at 82 degrees. A low-pressure system is contributing to these cooler conditions. While Sunday will be a pleasant break, temperatures are expected to gradually increase by one to three degrees each day through Thursday, leading to a return to triple digits around 110 degrees by next week. For those planning outdoor activities on Sunday, morning temperatures will be in the 80s, rising to the 90s in the afternoon. Authorities advise applying plenty of sunscreen if heading out to the lakes, as there will be plenty of sunshine. A ridge of high pressure pushing further east will impact the East Coast, while the low-pressure system continues to keep Arizona temperatures below average for Sunday.

The Arizona Department of Health Services stated the following precautions can be taken to prevent heat exhaustion or heat stroke: Stay in air-conditioned buildings Find a cooling center/hydration station Limit outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day (mid-day) Check on at-risk friends, family, and neighbors at least twice a day Drink water before, during, and after working or exercising outside Check the UV Index Check the heat risk map Call 511 anywhere in Arizona or 1-888-411-ROAD (7623) The Arizona Department of Transportation's tips for driving in extreme temperatures include: Have sun protection: In addition to an umbrella, take sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat and wear loose-fitting, light-colored cotton clothing. Fuel up: Keep your tank at three-quarters full. Running out of gas, especially in a remote location, is dangerous in extreme heat. Hydrate: Take a cooler to keep extra drinking water cold, and consider adding several frozen bottles of water to use for cooling off or to thaw and drink if needed. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated. Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn't working, roll down all windows. Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets' paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire. Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout. MORE:

Pinpoint Weather: Mostly cloudy Mother's Day before widespread rain next week
ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — Mostly cloudy conditions will persist into tonight with low temperatures on the cool side in the mid-to-upper 40s for most. Looking at Mother's Day tomorrow, skies remain mostly cloudy with afternoon temperatures generally ranging in the upper 60s to mid 70s. As moisture creeps up from the south, a few spotty light showers may be possible, mainly over southern counties close to the VA/NC border. A low-pressure system over the Southern U.S. slowly works its way northward and with it, moisture increases dramatically into our region. Scattered rain will begin to move in Sunday night into Monday morning becoming more widespread throughout the day. Monday will be cloudy and cool as well with highs only reaching the low-to-mid 60s. As the low moves northward just off to the west, more widespread rain and storms continue over the region into Monday night through Tuesday. With prolonged rain, some high rainfall totals will be possible, especially under any rain intense storms that form. The entire area is outlined under a Slight Risk (2/4) for flash flooding on Monday with portions under the level 2 risk again for Tuesday. Around 2-3 inches of rain will be possible through Tuesday evening, with the greatest potential for flash flooding along the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge where localized 4+ inches could be possible. As the frontal system pushes through, scattered storms will redevelop Wednesday afternoon with daytime heating. Towards the end of the week, temperatures warm up with highs climbing into the 80s along with the chance for pop-up storms possible in the afternoons. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
