Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
1259 AM MST Mon Jul 27 2026

.DISCUSSION...
Typical monsoon conditions are expected through at least the start
of the workweek, with thunderstorm activity mainly favoring the
high terrain of northern AZ and southeastern AZ and low chances
(10%) in the lower deserts of south-central AZ. Above normal
temperatures will contribute to seasonally dry afternoon conditions
each day through the first half of the week. Minimum RH values of
15-30% will be common, with fair overnight recoveries most nights
- maximum RH values mostly in the 35-50% across lower deserts to
45-65% across southern Gila County. Outside of thunderstorm
outflows, wind speeds should be fairly light through the period
with only local afternoon gusts 20-25 mph.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...

Note...Additional Fire Weather Forecast information can be found
