168 FNUS55 KTWC 210931 FWFTWC Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southeast Arizona National Weather Service Tucson AZ 231 AM MST Fri Jun 21 2024 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 20-FOOT WIND FORECAST OF `LIGHT WINDS` INDICATES MAINLY TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ .DISCUSSION... Gusty east to southeast winds this morning will diminish through the day. A strong increase in moisture will bring better RH values along with a chance of thunderstorms into at least early next week. Some storms will generate strong and erratic outflow winds. Moisture is expected to be deep enough for some storms to generate locally heavy rain. Temperatures may heat back up by mid week as high pressure builds nearly overhead, however we should keep some storm chances around.
