Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
1205 PM MST Sun Sep 13 2026

.DISCUSSION...
Chances for scattered showers and isolated storms will continue
today before increasing and becoming more widespread into the
south-central Arizona lower deserts beginning Monday. Moisture
levels will remain high enough to support localized heavy
rainfall with any storms. Minimum humidity levels over the next
several days will only fall into a 15-25% range in western
districts and 25-40% in eastern districts. This will follow fair
to good overnight recovery of 40-70%. Outside of thunderstorms,
winds will generally remain light with a south to southwest
heading though nearly calm conditions will be common in the
morning hours.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...

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