Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
117 PM MST Fri Jul 17 2026

.DISCUSSION...
Showers and thunderstorms will remain possible over the Arizona
districts into this afternoon with much lower chances into
western districts. Activity over south-central Arizona will still
be capable of producing localized flooding through early afternoon
before drying begins to move in from the south. Elevated southerly
winds are anticipated much of the period for the western
districts with light winds elsewhere. Elevated humidities today
will keep minimum afternoon humidity levels from 30% in western
districts to 40-50% over the eastern districts. A gradual drying
trend over the weekend will drop MinRHs to 20-35%.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...
