TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Red Flag Warnings return to southern Arizona as dry air combines with gusty wind to create critical wildfire conditions through the weekend.

Red Flag Warnings will go into effect Saturday morning and continue through Sunday evening throughout southern and eastern Arizona as southwest wind will gust up to 40 mph in combination with humidity as low as 10%.

High temperatures will gradually drop into the low 100s through the weekend and into the beginning of next week along with cooler overnight lows in the lower 70s.

Monsoon appears to be on another extended break with no significant sign of returning through most of next week.

Have a great weekend and play it safe with the critical wildfire danger in place!
