Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
128 AM MST Thu Jul 3 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Lingering moisture today may bring a few isolated thunderstorms
across south-central and eastern Arizona, but CWR will be below
10%. Below normal temperatures and the moisture will help to keep
MinRHs between 20-30% for the eastern districts to 15-20% for the
western districts. The drying trend will pick up by Friday with
MinRHs dipping into the teens for all of the lower deserts to
20-25% over the higher terrain. Winds will return to the more
typical diurnal trend today with any afternoon breeziness
generally less than 20 mph.

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