    20-FOOT WIND FORECAST OF `LIGHT WINDS` INDICATES MAINLY
    TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

.DISCUSSION...A weather system moving through today into tonight
will result in a 20 to 40% chance of light showers mainly for
Graham/Greenlee Counties. Breezy conditions continue today as well
with 20-ft winds of 15-20 mph east of Tucson. Less wind and dry
conditions Thursday. The next weather system Friday into early
Saturday will bring better chance of precipitation to the area
although precipitation amounts will generally remain less than
0.25". Cooler temperatures and increased moisture will keep min RH
values in the 15 to 25 percent range through Saturday. Gusty
afternoon winds breezes are expected with the Friday system but min
RH values too high for Red Flag concerns. Dry with warmer
temperatures Sunday and Monday.
