.DISCUSSION...
Mostly dry conditions will prevail through tonight, with the best
chances of wetting rains being confined to the high terrain of
Gila County starting Monday. Moisture levels will be on the rise
through the start of the work week, with MinRHs values this
afternoon ranging between 10-15%, increasing to 20-25% by Tuesday.
Overnight recoveries will follow a similar trend, with poor to
modest readings tonight in Monday before becoming more decent
beyond that. Outside of any potential thunderstorm outflows, winds
will favor light and diurnal trends, with the usual afternoon
breeziness.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...
