Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
431 AM MST Fri Jul 4 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Near to below-normal temperatures will persist into the start of
the weekend, with above-normal readings returning by Sunday. Some
lingering moisture will result in relatively elevated MinRH
values with readings between 20-25% in the eastern districts and
15-20% in the western zones. Overnight recoveries tonight will
offer some decent relief as readings hover between 40-60%.
However, drier air will result in decreasing RH values for
Saturday, with daily minimums generally between 10-20% and max
values hovering around 25-35%. Winds will follow familiar diurnal
trends, with typical afternoon breeziness. Slightly more elevated
gusts (20-25 mph) can be anticipated along the lower Colorado
River Valley.


...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...
