Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
1256 PM MST Fri May 10 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures are expected to warm over the next several days, with
chances for highs reaching 100 degrees increasing above 50%, at
least for the western districts, by late this weekend. MinRHs
will be in the 5-10% range across the lower deserts and in the
10-15% range across the higher terrain. Overnight recovery will be
poor and in the 20-40% range, before improved recoveries in the
30-60% range heading into early next week. Typical springtime
breeziness continues through the weekend with widespread
afternoon and early evening wind gusts of 20-25 mph. Wind gusts
on Saturday afternoon across the far eastern districts are
expected to be slightly stronger, occasionally approaching 30
mph. These breezy conditions combined with dry fine fuels, and low
RHs will likely create some elevated fire weather conditions
through this weekend.

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