High wildfire risk continues as dry, windy weather returns to southern Arizona

Wildfire risk remains high as windy, dry weather returns
Posted

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Slightly cooler temperatures will be with us through the end of the week, but some gusty wind will keep wildfire risk elevated.

Drier air returns to the desert and will bring lots of sunshine along with high temperatures in the mid-90s to finish the week.

This weekend, Saturday will remain warm with highs in the mid-90s before highs drop to 90° for Sunday.

Our biggest concern will be a return of strong wind and critical wildfire risk returning Sunday as the cooler air moves in from the north.

Wear sunscreen and drink extra water if you’re going to be out over the next few days!
