Phoenix: Record High Temperatures Sunday?
Temperatures on Sunday afternoon in Phoenix are not going to feel like it's the middle of November, but like the middle of October. The forecast high this afternoon in Phoenix is 87º. Not only is this forecast high 12º above average, it would also tie the record high for the day set in 2008.
The main reason for these warm temperatures the past few weeks is high pressure. Currently, high pressure is building into the Southwest US as the low-pressure system that brought some high clouds to the region the past few days drifts southward off the coast of Baja.
The good news, these temperatures won't last long. The low off the coast of Baja will slowly move northeast into Arizona late Monday into Tuesday as another storm system drops down into the region from the Pacific Northwest. These two storms will bring rain chances to the Valley of the Sun Tuesday afternoon through Thursday, along with much cooler temperatures. In fact, by Wednesday through next weekend, temperatures are forecast to be in the 60s!
Stay tuned for more information about the rain chances mentioned above. For now, if you like the warm weather, enjoy today and tomorrow!
