.DISCUSSION...Slight chances of showers and thunderstorms will
continue across Mohave County each afternoon through Thursday.
Widespread chances of wetting rain are low due to the isolated
nature of the thunderstorms; however, with thunderstorms that
form, expect wetting rain and frequent lightning. Otherwise, the
rest of the region will remain dry with afternoon relative
humidities west of Interstate 15 in the upper-single- digits to
low-teens. Widespread gusty south-southwest winds between 25 and
35 mph with occasional instances approaching 40 mph each afternoon
through at least Thursday. Calmer conditions with near normal
temperatures will resume over the weekend.
Note: Thunderstorms imply gusty and erratic winds.
Note: Please see operating plan for detailed zone descriptions at:
