Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
242 PM MST Sat May 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Locally elevated fire weather conditions continue this afternoon,
particularly over the high terrain of the eastern districts, as a
weak system helps to generate widespread breezy conditions. Gusts
over the high terrain of the eastern districts will peak between
25-30 mph, with isolated gusts potentially up to 35 mph. Gusts
will peak mostly between 20-25 mph this afternoon elsewhere across
the lower deserts. MinRH values will range between 10-20% today
and locally higher in the high terrain, and will drop to 10-15%
tomorrow. Overnight recoveries will be fair tonight at around 30-
50% and drop to 25-40% Sunday night. Hot and dry conditions will
persist after today, with generally lighter wind speeds and
typical afternoon breeziness each day. Daily highs will reach the
century mark in many lower desert locations by Monday and values
generally top out between 100-105 through the middle of next week.

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