Good morning, Phoenix! Meteorologist Amy Freeze here with your detailed weather outlook.

A line of rain showers is sweeping through Arizona, with Phoenix experiencing light rain and cloud cover extending towards Flagstaff. In Nevada, Ely and Cedar City are under light precipitation, tapping into both rain and snow at higher elevations. Salt Lake City is seeing snow as cooler air wraps around the system. California’s coast, from San Francisco to San Diego, remains dry with clearer skies. Farther north, Redding remains free of precipitation despite the clouds moving eastward.
Tomorrow morning in Phoenix, expect a damp start with showers in the forecast. Temperatures will gradually climb from 61 degrees at 8 AM to 63 degrees by noon. A gentle southeastern breeze of around 6 mph will accompany the rain.
Tomorrow Fresno is set to reach a high of 88 degrees, while Bakersfield is expected to hit 89. Las Vegas will see a comfortable 80 degrees, with Phoenix also warming up to 85. San Diego will enjoy a mild day at 69 degrees. In contrast, San Francisco will be significantly cooler at just 59 degrees.
An upper-level system will bring showers and isolated thunderstorms to parts of Arizona and New Mexico, with localized heavy rain possible Tuesday afternoon. The impact continues into Wednesday, potentially affecting travel with flash flooding in low-lying areas. Cooler temperatures will accompany the unsettled weather, with highs in the low 60s for much of the region. A ridge of high pressure builds from the west, leading to clearing skies and warmer temperatures by Thursday.
The UV index in Phoenix will be very high on Tuesday, with a rating of 8, meaning a burn time of approximately 17 minutes in direct sunlight. On Wednesday, the UV index escalates to an extreme level of 10, reducing the burn time to just 12 minutes. It’s important to minimize sun exposure during peak hours and apply sunscreen generously both days.
