Wildfire Prevention Tips

Strong winds, low humidity levels, and very receptive fuels will combine today through Sunday, resulting in a very high fire danger for much of the region, particularly across higher terrain areas. Red Flag Warnings has been issued and any ongoing fires or new starts could grow out of control.

A dry weather system will be moving through the region this weekend leading to breezy to locally windy conditions. The highest wind gusts will be across SE CA and La Paz County today where wind gusts upwards of 40-50 mph are expected.

Breezy to windy conditions will continue into the weekend. Strongest gusts will be focused over the AZ high terrain, along with the Colorado River and Imperial Valleys. Wind Advisories have been posted for western portions of our areas, with the greatest coverage on Saturday.

Breezy to locally windy conditions will combine with the dry conditions to produce widespread high fire danger through the weekend. Temperatures then fall below normal by Sunday and continue through the middle of next week with HeatRisk falling into the Minor category. Dry conditions also continue through at least the middle of next week.

Very dry and breezy to windy conditions will combine to create critical fire weather conditions this weekend. Make sure to do your part to prevent any wildfire starts and alert the proper authorities if you see any fires.
