Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
244 PM MST Thu Jul 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Lingering moisture today may bring a few isolated thunderstorms
across south-central and eastern Arizona, but CWR will be below
10%. Below normal temperatures and the moisture will help to keep
MinRHs between 20-30% for the eastern districts to 15-20% for the
western districts. Outflow boundaries are possible from any storm
activity with a 30-50% chance of wind gusts of 35 mph in the
Phoenix Metro this evening. The drying trend will continue
tomorrow with MinRHs of 20-25% across the SW and south-central AZ
and 10-15% across SE CA. Winds return to a more typical diurnal
trend today with any afternoon breeziness generally less than 20
mph. Highest wind gusts will be along the lower CO river valley
with afternoon breeziness of 20-25 mph today and tomorrow.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...
