Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Southwest and South-Central
Arizona and Southeast California
National Weather Service Phoenix AZ
318 PM MST Thu Mar 27 2025

.DISCUSSION...
Increased winds and low humidities may create a period of a
somewhat elevated fire weather risk for a couple of areas - parts
of Southeast CA and southern Gila County, AZ - Friday & Saturday
afternoons and early evenings. Westerly winds in the mentioned
areas will gust up to around 25-30 mph in the afternoon and
evening, with MinRH values down to around 15-20%. Elsewhere, winds
will not be quite as strong the next couple of days, but 15-25 mph
gusts are still anticipated. Temperatures will be more seasonal
Friday and Saturday, with afternoon highs in the low to mid 80s
across lower deserts.

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