Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
314 AM MST Tue Jun 25 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Monsoonal moisture will continue to result in daily chances for
shower and thunderstorm activity. The higher terrain areas will
see the greatest potential with some locally heavy rainfall with
any storms that develop. Best chances for storms are today, with a
gradual decrease in chances/coverage through Friday, where chances
drop around 15% or lower. Chances for wetting rains will
generally remain around 10-20% for the higher terrain areas and
5-10% for the lower deserts of south-central Arizona today, before
dropping below 10% across the region starting Thursday. With the
elevated moisture in place, MinRH values through the middle of
this week will range between 30-40% across the far eastern
districts to between 15-25% across the western districts before
slowly drying during the latter half of this week. Winds will
follow their typical daily tendencies, with gusty outflows from
any thunderstorm activity anticipated over the next several days.
Temperatures average several degrees above normal through the
forecast period.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...
