The National Weather Service in Las Vegas reported that strong southwesterly winds this afternoon will bring "borderline critical fire weather conditions" to northwestern Arizona and southeastern Nevada. Areas affected include portions of Mohave County, according to the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service did not issue formal warnings, citing the "spatially limited nature of this threat." The Hualapai Mountains could briefly reach Red Flag Criteria, but most of Mohave County is expected to stay borderline. Dry weather will continue into early August with temperatures near seasonal averages. A possible heatwave may develop next week as high pressure builds from the east, though the National Weather Service notes "uncertainty" about its severity.
The National Weather Service forecasts clear skies with afternoon temperatures above 100°F. The 12Z Forecast Package notes that "South to southwest breezes continue through the TAF period," with gusts of 15–25 knots from late morning through the evening before decreasing after sunset. Spotters are asked to report significant weather or impacts.
