Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
104 PM MST Tue May 14 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Elevated fire weather conditions will continue into at least early
next week as a result of some periodic gusty winds (mainly in the
afternoon and early evening hours), dry fine fuels, and low
humidity levels. MinRH levels will be around 10% across the lower
deserts and in the teens for the higher terrain areas. Overnight
recoveries will range from poor to fair and be in the 20-50%
range. Afternoon and early evening wind gusts will be around 20-25
mph each day. Through Thursday, some periodic higher gusts are
possible in the higher terrain in the eastern districts due to
some high based showers over the mountains.

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