.DISCUSSION...Temperatures are expected to heat back up by
Thursday and Friday after the brief few degrees of cooling today
and tomorrow. Through Wednesday expect minimum relative humidities
of 8 to 15 percent with overnight recoveries between 25 to 40
percent. Afternoon breeziness out of the southwest can be expected
through Wednesday with gusts to around 20 to 25 mph. Starting
Thursday, surface winds turn to the south to southeast, which also
begins to open the door for increasing low and mid-level
moisture. The Gila River Valley could see sustained southeast
winds of 20 to 30 mph Thursday and 15 to 25 mph Friday. Chances
for mainly dry thunderstorms east of Tucson arrive on Thursday and
then as far west as Tucson by Friday into the weekend. Min RH
values will also increase to 15 to 30 percent.
