Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
1238 AM MST Thu Jul 31 2025

.DISCUSSION...
The limited monsoon moisture will provide for another day of
mostly high terrain scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
with diminishing chances already by Friday. Chances for wetting
rains will remain below 10% resulting in at least minor risk of
dry lightning. Afternoon MinRHs today and Friday will mostly be
between 10-15% across the lower deserts to 15-20% in higher
terrain areas before dropping further into the weekend. Outside
of the influence of thunderstorms, winds will generally follow
diurnal tendencies with typical afternoon upslope gustiness.
Temperatures will remain above normal with lower desert highs
mostly between 108-113 degrees.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...

Note...Additional Fire Weather Forecast information can be found
