Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
336 PM MST Mon Apr 22 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions with above normal temperatures will persist early
this week with winds steadily becoming more breezy ahead of an
approaching weather system set to move through midweek. Afternoon
humidity levels will continue to fall to around 10% following poor
to fair overnight recovery of 20-40%. Cooler weather arriving during
the latter half of the week will allow an improvement to RH with
afternoon values only falling into a 15-25% range. As this weather
disturbance moves through the region later in the week, very breezy
conditions will also occasionally impact districts with afternoon
gusts commonly reaching 20-30 mph. Given this combination of winds
and humidity levels, a periodic elevated fire danger should be
planned for during the second half of the week.

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