Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
411 AM MST Sat May 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Locally elevated fire weather conditions will exist today, particularly
over the high terrain of the eastern districts, as a weak system
helps to generate widespread breezy conditions. Gusts over the
high terrain will peak between 25-30 mph, with isolated gusts up
to 35 mph. Gusts peaking between 25-35 mph across portions of
Imperial County late this afternoon and early this evening can
also be anticipated. Elsewhere across the lower deserts, gusts
will peak mostly between 20-25 mph. MinRH values will range
between 10-20% today and locally higher in the high terrain, and
will drop to 10-15% Sunday. Overnight recoveries will be fair
tonight at around 30-50% and drop to 25-40% Sunday night. Below
normal temperatures will prevail today, followed by increasing
daily highs starting Sunday.

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