South Central Arizona including KPHX, KIWA, KSDL, and KDVT: The main aviation concern will be SHRA/TSRA as early as late tonight and into Wednesday morning. Showers and thunderstorms will continue to pose a threat throughout the later portion of the current TAF period and subsequent packages. Currently models are pointing towards VCSH developing late tonight, with uncertainties of direct impacts, hence the introduction of a PROB30 for light thunderstorms. Winds will continue to be out of the east this morning then a prolonged period of southerly flow this afternoon. Periods of VRB can yet again be expected by the evening hours heading into the overnight period ahead and during any storm activity. Wind speeds are expected to be aob 10kts through most of the TAF period but with any thunderstorms gusts in the mid teens may be possible. FEW-SCT cloud decks will be common through the beginning of the forecast window with the lowest bases around 6-8 kft with increasing coverage near the latter half of the period to BKN-OVC as storms develop.
Southeast California/Southwest Arizona including KIPL and KBLH: No aviation concerns are expected over the next 24 hours. Light westerly to VRB winds at KIPL will persist through the morning expected to turn out of the SE by 18Z today. At KBLH VRB winds will continue through the morning before shifting out of the south teetering between SSW and SSE before establishing out of the SW near 03Z this evening. Clear skies will give way to increasing low and mid-level cloud decks later this morning with the lowest bases around 7-9 kft .
Fire Weather
Wind speeds today will generally remain light with limited afternoon gustiness before increasing towards the middle of the week ahead of an approaching weather system.

MinRHs today will range between 30-50% before increasing above 50-60% across the eastern districts Wednesday and Thursday along with good to excellent overnight recoveries.
