Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
209 PM MST Mon Aug 10 2026

.DISCUSSION...
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are anticipated each day
through midweek across the higher terrain areas of the eastern
districts, with a 30-50% chance of activity in the lower
elevations. With these thunderstorms will come an elevated
potential for wetting rains. Afternoon MinRHs will range between
20-30% today and increase to 25-40% on Tuesday along with good to
excellent overnight recoveries. Aside from gusty and erratic
winds near thunderstorms, the overall wind pattern will follow the
diurnal trends with modest afternoon upslope gusts.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...
