Upcoming Weather Increases Potential For Wildfires

Look for the winds to pick up Friday across Arizona . Meteorologist Robert Rickey of the National Weather Service in Flagstaff says with the low humidity continuing, the potential for wildfires is high.

“There’s also a chance for some type of some dry thunderstorms, really along the Arizona-New Mexico border,” Rickey said.

He says a red flag warning is in effect, with virtually no moisture coming into the state, and winds possibly gusting to as high as 40 miles an hour.
