Arizona weather: Highs in the 80s for Phoenix

You're watching the Fox 10 Weather Experts with meteorologist Crystal Ortiz on Fox 10 News. Welcome back. Tempe Town Lake for you. Live camera view that we got here. And we are seeing dark and early that it is looking like a typical Monday. People already out on the 202. Stephen just saw that car over the Mill Bridge there. We are looking at waters that are still running, you know, a little high along Tempe Town Lake as a result of the water releases from all that historic rain that we had over Halloween weekend that is still impacting us more than a week later. This is the flood alert map. As you can see, still until 11 a.m. this morning, We have flood warnings along the Verde to the Salt all the way up to to Tempe Town Lake and then extending from right when the Salt starts to merge with the Gila near the Buckeye area all the way down to Gila Bend again through 11 a.m. But these have been extended quite a handful of times because of the fact that the water has been kind of slow to recede out of these areas. So still some spots that are running that may typically be dry. A view on Fox Vision. Nothing going on, so we're not adding to this, at least. We're not adding any additional moisture. Although we did get some of that wet weather this past Friday, we have dried out and we will stay that way. In fact, widening out, a lot of the country is pretty dry. All the southwest, central parts of the country, you do see some wet weather that's moving up and over parts of south Texas, and then you do see some scattered activity, mostly just showery wet weather that's moving through portions of New England. But generally speaking, there's not a ton of action on the board across the country right now. Our future cast, roll the clock. We'll walk the clock through and take a look how quiet it is. This is 7 o'clock at night. Nothing changes on the board. Overnight, tomorrow morning, some high clouds, northern part of the state, and even those high clouds falling apart as we head into your Tuesday night. So at least the next 48 hours, totally dry. But realistically, I think all the way until about the end of the work week, we remain dry. Then things start to change, and here's how. Look at the temperature tracker. So we've got a little bit of ridging, kind of modest ridging that's been going on the last couple of days, which has allowed that temperature to climb into that 82, 83 territory. But a little steadier ridge starts to build through midweek, which means we are going to probably see the temperature climb another degree or two at least over the next couple of days. Then that ridge starts to slowly weaken and center up over the country through about Friday. And at the same time, you see this storm system start to dip up against the west coast, kind of close to the Baja. Now, that low is going to start to creep our direction. direction just along the southern edge of Arizona by Saturday. And it's likely it'll provide a maybe a little bit of a cooling effect to our temperatures, but also B, try to wrap at least a little moisture into especially southern Arizona. So there is a chance for showers in the valley. It's limited, like 10, 20 percent chance at this point. But it is something we'll be watching for Friday evening through your Saturday. And you see that in the form of our rain chances, which do start to uptick both in terms of Friday into Saturday. But then next week, another system Monday into Tuesday, those chances will start to improve. Our forecast highs for today, we're looking at 63 in Winslow, 66 in Prescott, and middle 80s here in the Valley. Now, if we look at the 10-day forecast, that temperature stays in the middle 80s right on through your Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, even Friday, we're at 83. But then, as I mentioned, that chance for showers at 20% Saturday does drag us back down to the upper 70s. And if we do get that next system next week, that could bring us back to the lower 70s. There we go. That's really nice. Yeah. Fall weather. Perfect. Love it. Thank you.
