.DISCUSSION...A WEAK LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BRUSHING SOUTHEAST ARIZONA
TODAY WILL BRING A CHANCE OF RAIN TO THE WILD FIRE. HOWEVER...GUSTY
WINDS NEAR SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE SOMETHING TO MONITOR.

GUSTS NEAR 25 MPH TO DEVELOP FRIDAY AFTERNOON AS THE SYSTEM MOVES
CLOSER TO THE REGION. ALONG WITH THE WIND...A DRIER AND COOLER
AIRMASS WILL FILTER INTO THE AREA FRIDAY AND INTO THE WEEKEND.
