Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
126 AM MST Tue Jul 29 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Limited monsoon moisture will provide for daily chances of
scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the eastern
Arizona high terrain, but chances for wetting rains will mostly be
10% or less. By Thursday, the limited chances may extend into the
south-central Arizona lower deserts. The lack of good moisture
should result in at least minor risk of dry lightning. Afternoon
MinRHs for the lower deserts will remain between 5-15% today and
Wednesday, with 15-20% in southern Gila County. Outside of the
influence of thunderstorms, winds will generally follow diurnal
tendencies with typical afternoon upslope gustiness. Temperatures
will mostly run 3-6 degrees above normal through the rest of the
week.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...

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