National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
339 AM MST Sun Aug 31 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Mostly dry conditions will prevail over the next few days, with
the best chances of wetting rains being confined to the high
terrain of Gila County Monday. Moisture levels will be on the rise
through the start of the upcoming week, with MinRHs values this
afternoon ranging between 10-15%, increasing to 20-25% by Tuesday.
Overnight recoveries will follow a similar trend, with poor to
modest readings tonight in Monday before becoming more decent
beyond that. Outside of any potential thunderstorm outflows, winds
will favor light and diurnal trends, with the usual afternoon
breeziness.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...
