Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
1248 PM MST Sat May 11 2024

.DISCUSSION...
The combination of periodic gusty winds, dry fine fuels, and
low humidity levels will yield an occasionally elevated fire
danger through next week. Temperatures will continue warming
through early next week, reaching and maintaining an above normal
threshold. Seasonably dry weather should also persist across the
districts with minimum afternoon humidity levels around 10% at
lower desert elevations and in the teens over higher terrain
areas. Overnight recovery will range widely from poor to fair in a
20-50% range. Typical afternoon spring breezes 20-25 mph will be
common over most areas.

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