slightly elevated moisture levels providing mostly eastern Arizona
high terrain chances (10-25%) for showers and thunderstorms.

enhanced chances of dry lightning and new fire starts. Minimum
afternoon humidity levels will mostly range between 15-20% with
fair to good overnight recoveries. Winds will retain an afternoon
upslope component with gusts to 15-20 mph common.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...
