Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
136 PM MST Mon Nov 17 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Rain chances increase tonight and Tuesday with periods of showers
and a few isolated thunderstorms. Better chances of wetting rains
associated with heavier showers and storm will favor eastern
districts. Below normal temperatures and elevated moisture will
remain in place keeping MinRHs in a 40-70% range following
excellent overnight recovery greater than 80%. Locally gusty
winds upwards of 20 mph will be possible at times, though weaker
wind speeds will be more common through the period.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...

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