.DISCUSSION...Hot and dry conditions continue this weekend. Winds
should be lighter but typical afternoon breeziness is still
expected. Minimum relative humidities this weekend will range from
4 to 9 percent in the lower elevations and 9 to 14 percent in the
mountains. Winds increase on Monday for a few areas near critical
fire weather thresholds, but not widespread enough at this time
to warrant a watch to be issued. Heating back up next Thursday
and Friday with hottest temperatures of 2024 possible. Also at the
end of next week there are signs that there will be an increase
in moisture that may lead to a slight chance of high based mostly
dry thunderstorms mainly over the higher terrain of Graham,
Greenlee and Cochise counties.
