Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
236 AM MST Mon Sep 1 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Increasing moisture will result in an enhancement of monsoonal
shower and thunderstorm activity over the next few days, but the
best chances for wetting rain today should remain focused over
the high terrain of the eastern districts. Due to the increase in
moisture, MinRHs will hover above critical thresholds through the
beginning of the week, with values ranging between 15-25%.
Overnight recoveries should provide some decent relief, with
MaxRH readings in between 40-60%. Temperatures will gradually
decrease during through the middle portion of the week, with
above-normal values today, falling closer to seasonal levels by
Tuesday.


...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...
