Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
154 PM MST Thu Jul 30 2026

.DISCUSSION...
Strong high pressure will gradually build over the region through
the rest of the week while relatively dry air confines any rain
chances to over far eastern Arizona. Expect humidities to continue
to lower over the next couple of days with MinRHs settling at
10-15% by Friday, while falling overnight RHs offer only little to
modest relief. Record to near record temperatures are also
forecast for Friday and through the upcoming weekend. Winds will
mostly follow diurnal patterns, but west southwesterly winds will
be dominant much of the time with afternoon gusts of 15-25 mph at
times.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...

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