.DISCUSSION...Slightly cooler temperatures today as highs briefly
drop to below normal levels following the dry weather system that
moved through the region. Temperatures then remain near to
slightly above normal into the weekend. Breezy afternoon and early
evening winds will persist much of this week, especially to the
east of Tucson. Winds on Tuesday will approach critical levels
Tuesday near the New Mexico border but the duration and
geographical scope don`t warrant the issuance of fire weather
headlines at this time. Winds have trended up a bit more for
Wednesday, so if these trends hold, later shifts will need to
consider fire weather headlines for locales east of Tucson.
Otherwise, min RH values this week in the valleys will be in the
single digits to lower teens, with values generally in the teens
for the mountains.
