Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
342 AM MST Sat Apr 26 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Widespread wind gusts 20-30 mph will become common across the
region this afternoon, and, in combination with moderately low
relative humidity of 10-20%, will result in an elevated fire
danger. Near critical conditions will be most common near ridge
tops of the eastern districts. By Sunday, winds will be somewhat
weaker as humidity levels increase into a 15-30% range. Poor to
fair overnight recovery between 20-40% will improve towards a
40-60% range Sunday morning. While below normal temperatures
continue into early next week, gradual warming and drying each day
will lower minRH`s to around 10-15% and degrade overnight
recoveries to around 25-40% by the middle of next week.

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