PHOENIX — High temperatures climbed to 99 degrees so far this afternoon, just above the seasonal average of 97.
Tonight stays mostly clear, with overnight lows settling into the mid-70s.
Sunday brings more of the same across the Valley, with highs in the 99-100 range. There’s a slight chance for a few light showers over the higher terrain southeast of Phoenix Sunday evening into early Monday morning. By Monday, which is Memorial Day, temperatures ease back slightly with a high near 98.
Up in the High Country, the holiday forecast looks more active on Monday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected across northern and southeastern Arizona, including areas around Flagstaff and the White Mountains. Rain chances there sit around 50 to 60 percent, and some storms could linger into Monday evening. Travelers returning from the holiday weekend are advised to check the forecast before leaving.
Back in the Valley, Tuesday looks mostly sunny with highs in the mid to upper 90s. Wednesday turns a bit windier as temperatures dip slightly below normal, topping out near 95 degrees. Even cooler conditions are possible Thursday and Friday, with highs falling into the low 90s. By Saturday, temperatures rebound closer to average with a high near 97 degrees.

Phoenix weather Memorial Day forecast high country thunderstorms Flagstaff rain chances White Mountains showers holiday travel weather
So basically it’s gonna rain but only “mountain” people.
My cousin says Memorial Day will be nonstop storms in Flagstaff but the article says like 50-60%… so does that mean it definitely will happen or nah? Also 99 degrees is insane.
Wait, “Valley shifts next week”?? Like the roads shift or the weather shifts? I’m just trying to figure out if my drive back from the White Mountains is gonna be a mess Monday evening. 60% rain chance sounds like it’ll be pouring, right?
They should’ve warned people earlier, 99 degrees then “light showers” over the higher terrain… that sounds like the storm will pop off randomly like it always does. I bet everyone will still leave without checking the forecast anyway. Also “mostly clear” tonight but mid-70s lows, yeah that’s gonna feel nice right up until it doesn’t.
