Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
210 PM MST Fri May 24 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Elevated fire weather conditions will exist this afternoon and
again Saturday over parts of the western districts and high
terrain of the eastern districts as a weak system helps to
generate breezy to locally windy conditions. Strongest winds
(35-45 mph peak gusts) will be focused over the western districts
and enhanced terrain areas, particularly this evening, with 20-30
mph gusts expected elsewhere. MinRH values during this timeframe
will increase slightly from 10-15% today, to 10-20% Saturday.
Overnight recoveries will be fair tonight and Saturday night at
around 30-50% and locally higher in high terrain locations.

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