diurnal wind patterns. However, some breeziness is likely mainly
during the overnight and morning hours across the higher terrain
of eastern Arizona and within the Lower CO River Valley. MinRHs
will stay in the teens across the western districts to 20-25%
over the south-central Arizona lower deserts and 30-40% over the
Arizona higher terrain.
