Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
315 AM MST Fri May 10 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures are expected to warm over the next several days, with
chances for highs reaching 100 degrees increasing above 50%, at
least for the western districts, by late this weekend. MinRHs
will be in the 5-10% range across the lower deserts and in the
10-15% range across the higher terrain. Overnight recovery will be
poor and in the 20- 40% range, before improved recoveries in the
30-60% range heading into early next week. Typical springtime
breeziness continues through the weekend with afternoon and early
evening wind gusts of 20-25 mph. These breezy conditions combined
with dry fine fuels, and low RHs will likely create some elevated
fire weather conditions through this weekend.

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