Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
351 AM MST Sun Aug 10 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Above normal temperatures will continue through mid-week. Isolated
thunderstorms will be possible each afternoon/evening across the
AZ high terrain which may produce gusty outflow winds. Chances of
wetting rainfall will remain below 10% resulting in enhanced
chances of dry lightning and new fire starts. Minimum afternoon
humidity levels will mostly range between 15-20% with fair to good
overnight recoveries. Winds will continue to follow diurnal trends
with afternoon gusts up to 15-20 mph.

...Thunderstorms imply gusty winds...

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