Overexposure can cause heat cramps and heat exhaustion to develop and, without intervention, can lead to heat stroke. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... A Wind Advisory means that sustained wind speeds of between 30 and 40 mph are expected, or wind gusts of between 40 and 58 mph. Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. In addition, strong winds over desert areas could result in briefly lowered visibilities to well under a mile at times in blowing dust or blowing sand. Use extra caution. An Excessive Heat Watch means that a period of very hot temperatures, even by local standards, will occur. Actions should be taken to lessen the impact of the extreme heat. Stay indoors and seek air-conditioned buildings. Drink water, more than usual, and avoid dehydrating alcoholic, sugary, or caffeinated drinks. Dress for the heat - lightweight and light- colored clothing. Eat small meals and eat more often. Monitor those with a higher vulnerability to heat, including small children.

What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Phoenix, AZ wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at May 21, 11:52 AM PDT, 2 hours 4 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, May 21, 11:52 AM PDT, 2 hours 4 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Phoenix AZ 1152 AM MST Thu May 21 2020 .UPDATE... Updated Aviation discussion. && .SYNOPSIS... Near normal temperatures will last through the weekend while a series a dry weather systems move north of the region. Breezy to locally windy conditions on Friday will lead to elevated fire weather conditions. Increasing high pressure through the first part of next week will push temperatures to well above normal readings by the middle of next week, potentially leading to excessive heat conditions by next Wednesday or Thursday. && .DISCUSSION... A large scale trough remains situated over the Western U.S. with a series of shortwaves moving through the trough. Upper level heights across the Desert Southwest will temporarily rise today leading to warming conditions and highs back into the 90s, but still below normal. Another shortwave trough approaching from the northwest on Friday should bring temperatures back to near normal for Friday, but it will also lead to another breezy to windy day. Forecast winds Friday afternoon show winds gusting up to around 30 mph across much of southeast California and portions of southwest Arizona to around 20-25 mph elsewhere. The stronger winds combined with the already dry air mass in place will lead to elevated fire weather conditions on Friday. The trough will begin to push to the east during the weekend with a cut-off low well west of southern California slowly moving to the east. Models are still in good agreement the cut-off low will strengthen somewhat as it approaches the West Coast Sunday through Tuesday leading to amplification of the ridge moving over the Southwestern U.S. early next week. This scenario will lead to rapidly increasing heights aloft from west to east across the Desert Southwest during the first part of next week. Ensemble guidance mostly shows 500mb heights of 585-588dm on Monday to around 590dm beginning Tuesday. The strong ridge will give a quick boost to temperatures during the first half of next week with lower desert highs surpassing 100 degrees starting Monday and likely nearing 110 degrees by next Thursday, possibly as early as Wednesday. However, the cut-off low just to the west will present some degree of uncertainty as models oftentimes have difficulty resolving the timing and eventual track of cut-off lows. Fortunately, the uncertainty this time around seems relatively low as 2/3 of the latest GFS ensemble members and nearly 90% of the Euro members show 500mb heights rising to around 590dm. Heights of this degree fall in the 90-97th percentile of climo for the period and likely point toward another excessive heat episode. Current forecast highs are around 105 degrees for Tuesday, 108 Wednesday, and 109-111 for next Thursday. Beyond next Thursday, the more likely scenario is for the cut-off low to slowly shift northeastward moving inland across central/northern California sometime during the following weekend. This slow movement will likely prolong the heat episode across much of the Desert Southwest another couple days. && .AVIATION...Updated at 1852Z. South-Central Arizona including KPHX, KIWA, KSDL, and KDVT: Surface winds will be light and favor familiar diurnal patterns while the flow aloft will generally be west-northwest. Skies will be clear except for very minor amounts of cirrus at times. Southeast California/Southwest Arizona including KIPL and KBLH: Surface winds will be light and variable this afternoon before favoring southwest and west beginning as early as 23Z. Anticipate light and variable surface winds redeveloping as early as 10Z. Skies will be clear. && .FIRE WEATHER... Saturday through Wednesday: A weather system moving through the western states on Saturday will lead to some breezy conditions on Saturday across Arizona before high pressure increases across the region into next week. Winds into next week will be fairly light day to day with only locally breezy afternoon conditions. High temperatures will rise well into the 90s through Sunday and eventually to above 105 degrees starting by Tuesday or Wednesday. Through the period, expect Min RH values to dip below 10% on the lower deserts (below 15% higher terrain) with Max RH values 20-30% (30-40%) higher terrain. && .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotters should follow standard reporting procedures. && .PSR WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... AZ...None. CA...None. && DISCUSSION...Kuhlman AVIATION...AJ FIRE WEATHER...Kuhlman
