Large areas in Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado are under a Red Flag Warning or Fire Weather Watch today. This will not help the fire suppression efforts currently underway.

The weather forecast for Prescott, Arizona is for the Red Flag Warning to begin at 11 a.m. on Thursday and continue through 8 p.m. Friday. For Thursday the National Weather Service predicts southwest winds at 15 to 25 mph with gusts to 45 mph and a minimum relative humidity of 8 percent.

The state of Utah must be doing something right, because the warning area stopped at the imaginary line.
