Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
302 PM MST Sun May 26 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Hot and dry weather will persist through this week with temperatures
topping out around 5 degrees above average. Daily highs will reach
the century mark in most lower desert locations starting on Monday
and readings will generally top out between 100-105 through the
remainder of the week. MinRH values will range between 10-15% today
before falling to 10% or less across the central and western deserts
from Monday onwards. Overnight recoveries will continue to range
from poor to fair at around 25-40%. Winds are expected to remain
lighter through tomorrow, but a bump in breeziness could result in
pockets of elevated fire weather concerns going through the
middle of the week (peaking on Wednesday) ahead of tamer afternoon
breeziness heading into this weekend.

Note...Additional Fire Weather Forecast information can be found
in the Area Forecast Discussion. See product PHXAFDPSR.
