20-FOOT WIND FORECAST OF `LIGHT WINDS` INDICATES MAINLY
TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.DISCUSSION...Dry and hot conditions are expected across southeast
Arizona through early next week. Generally single digit min RH
values in the valleys, with mountain locations in the 10-18 percent
range. 20-foot winds will be 15 mph or less from Tucson westward,
with occasional afternoon/early evening gusts to around 20 mph
due to the strong surface heating. East of Tucson, breezy
afternoon and early evening 20-foot winds are expected in the Gila
River Valley today and Friday, with peak wind speeds of 12-18 mph
and gusts to around 30 mph. Expect similar speeds from Tucson
eastward Monday and Tuesday as a weak weather system moves
through. The strongest winds will again be in the upper Gila River
valley near Safford, with the possibility of a few hours of near
critical fire weather conditions.
