February Heat Hangs On in Phoenix as Gusts Ease and Slim Rain Chances Loom

A stubborn high-pressure block is keeping temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above normal across the Valley.

Overview

  • Highs hold near the low 80s through the weekend, with forecasts around 80 to 83 degrees across the Phoenix area.
  • Breezy conditions peak Thursday with possible gusts up to 30–40 mph, then lighten Friday through Sunday, easing impacts on the Phoenix Open.
  • Spotty, light showers remain possible in western and northern Arizona through Friday, with the Valley largely dry aside from a brief chance early Sunday.
  • A weak low sliding south of the state could weaken the block by mid-next week, bringing cooler 70s and a modest uptick in rain and high-elevation snow chances.
  • Phoenix’s warm stretch includes an 85-degree record on Feb. 1 and follows the city’s fourth-warmest January on record with only 0.18 inches of rain.
