Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
115 PM MST Thu Jul 4 2024

.DISCUSSION...
Hot and dry conditions will prevail across the area through at
least the weekend as strong high pressure settles in from the
northwest. Excessively hot temperatures with highs generally
between 112-117 degrees are expected across the lower deserts each
day through early next week. Daily MinRH values through the
weekend will fall between 5-15% across the lower deserts, while
higher terrain areas in Arizona will mostly see 10-20%. Winds will
follow diurnal trends, occasionally gusting to 20 mph during the
afternoon hours. The combination of the very hot and dry
conditions will lead to an increased fire danger threat.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...

Note...Additional Fire Weather Forecast information can be found
