.DISCUSSION...
Northwest winds are expected again today from a Tucson-Nogales
line eastward. Winds will become 10-15 mph with gusts to 20 mph
this afternoon, with stronger winds through the Gila River
Valley of 18-24 mph and gusts to 35 mph. Minimum relative
humidity values will be 8-14 percent across desert locations,
which will bring periods of locally critical fire weather
conditions in the Gila with the stronger winds this afternoon.
Winds west of Tucson-Nogales will turn to the southwest. Sunday
onwards will see southwest winds of 12-18 mph and gusts to 30
mph across southeastern Arizona each afternoon. Minimum relative
humidity values should remain fairly consistently 8-15 percent
across desert locations and 12-18 percent in the mountains
through much of next week.
