.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions and high temperatures 2-5 degrees above normal
will continue through next Wednesday, becoming 5 to 8 degrees
above normal the second half of next week. Expect min RH values of
3-8 percent in the lower elevations and 8-15 percent in the
mountains through the middle of next week, along with poor
overnight recoveries between 20-35 percent in most locations. 20-
foot winds will follow typical diurnal patterns through Wednesday
of next week, with afternoon/early evening gustiness due to strong
surface heating. Sustained 20-foot wind speeds will generally be
15 mph or less, except for the potential for some elevated winds
at 15-20 mph and gusts to around 30 mph Sunday and Monday
afternoon/early evening southeast of Tucson. There will be a
slight chance of dry thunderstorms capable of producing gusty and
erratic outflow winds near evaporating downdrafts possibly as
early as Thursday, but more likely impacting the area Friday and
Saturday.
