TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.DISCUSSION...Dry conditions are expected across most of southeast
Arizona through early next week, with just a slight chance (10-20
percent) of mainly dry thunderstorms in the White Mountains this
afternoon. Generally single digit min RH values in the valleys,
with mountain locations in the 10-20 percent range. 20-foot winds
will be 15 mph or less from Tucson westward, with occasional
afternoon/early evening gusts to around 25 mph due to the strong
surface heating. East of Tucson, breezy afternoon/early evening
20- foot winds are expected across portions of Cochise and Graham
counties through Thursday, with peak wind speeds of 15-20 mph and
gusts to around 30 mph. The strongest winds will be in the upper
Gila River valley near Safford, with the possibility of a few
hours of near critical fire weather conditions.
