Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
410 AM MST Fri May 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Elevated fire weather conditions will exist today and Saturday over
parts of the western districts and high terrain of the eastern
districts as a weak system helps to generate breezy to locally windy
conditions. Strongest winds (35-45 mph peak gusts) will be focused
over the western districts and enhanced terrain areas,
particularly this evening, with 20-30 mph gusts expected
elsewhere. MinRH values during this timeframe will increase
slightly from 10-15% today, to 10-20% Saturday. Overnight
recoveries will be fair tonight and Saturday night at around
30-50% and locally higher in high terrain locations.

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